The mailing wax is a fluff script that applies to miscellaneous items, and is part of the Mailing supplies family of scripts. It is part of the mail system. It is used to seal mailing envelopes and mailing parcels with an embossed signet. It requires a mail signet to work.

Analyze

You analyze the pristine white wax and sense that there is no recorded information on that item.  It may or may not be able to be worked on by a merchant alterer.

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

Usage Information

Verb First Third
PUT {wax} ON {mail} After placing your pristine white wax on your green parchment envelope, you press your iron signet ring into the wax. Heat blossoms momentarily over the surface of your ring and it presses into the softened wax, leaving behind a seal.
You have 7 pieces left of your wax.
After placing her pristine white wax on her green parchment envelope, XXX presses her iron signet ring into the wax. Heat blossoms momentarily over the surface of XXX's ring and it presses into the softened wax, leaving behind her seal.

Additional Information

Mailing wax only works with mailing supplies and mail signets. Mailing wax is simply applied to an appropriate parcel or envelope via PUT while wearing a mail signet, which automatically applies the signet design to the wax seal.

Look/Show

Mail wax has a limited number of uses. This can be previewed via LOOK:

You see a thin cylinder of wax partially cut to subdivide it into 8 equal pieces.  It will produce a blob of pristine white wax.  You think you could PUT the wax on a parcel or letter meant for mailing while wearing an appropriate signet to imprint your seal into it.
