The Blood Red Hand is a scripted item that is worn over the hand. It was sold in a shop called The Blood Red Hand. Some verb traps will recognize if the character is wearing a ring on a finger and, if so, will reference the first ring worn.

Tier 1

Analyze

You analyze the slender hand and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
The slender hand is The Blood Red Hand, a thin waxy membrane that lays over its bearer's hands.  Its description may be freely altered as long as it remains a hand.  Additionally, a merchant may be able to change the hand's nail (broken) or finger (slender) descriptions.

The hand is currently tier 1 of 4.

The hand currently has access to the following verbs: LEAN, SCRATCH* [AT], SLAP* [AT], TOUCH, TWITCH*, WAVE AT.

Verbs marked with an asterisk (*) will behave differently based on your DEMEANOR.

You get no sense of whether or not the hand may be further lightened.
