An identifying sheath, sometimes simply called an ID sheath, is a lightly scripted weapon container that makes different noises when weapons are inserted. The sound is based on the weapon's properties. It appears from testing that weighting overrides flares in messaging.

Analyze

You analyze your steel shoulder sheath and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A vine-etched steel shoulder sheath is an Identifying Sheath.
It will create a string of noises based on the flare of the item placed inside it.
It only gives messaging when an item is put inside it.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the steel shoulder sheath for you or deepen its pockets.
