Compasses are scripted items frequently paired with paper maps. They are often sold in festival shops and can be unlocked by willing merchants.

Analyze

You analyze the black oak compass and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

Your compass is unlocked.

You can TAP, PEER, PUSH, TURN, and RUB your compass.

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

TURN You glance down at your onyx and jade compass, then up at your surroundings, then back down at your compass again as you slowly turn in circles.
