 ====Usage====
 In addition to standard loresinging, it is also possible to sing to non-held items in the same room.  The purpose of this is generally to reveal a [[loresong]].  To loresing to an item not held in your hand, use the targeting syntax {{boldmono|LORESING ::itemname}}.  There are many examples of such items in the Museums in Wehnimer's Landing and River's Rest, as well as scattered in other areas of the game.

	== Example Messaging ==		== Example Messaging ==
	Loresongs provide a wide variety of messaging for items. Beyond the basic properties of an item (such as [[weight]], [[Enchant ~~Item~~ (925)\|enchant]] [[Defensive bonus\|bonus]], or value), items may be identified as possessing a special ability, as [[420\|imbeds]] (either blank, or already containing a spell), or [[enhancive]] properties. Some of that messaging is provided below:		Loresongs provide a wide variety of messaging for items.

			=== Magic Resistance ===
			Items which cannot have magic cast at them (material limits, or item limits) will tell you they are magic resistant in the second verse: '''You sense the item has some sort of magic resistance.''' To avoid confusion, this is not the same as a Target Defense Magic Resistance at all. TD in items will sing how much is on the item, with it's own specific wording in other verses.

			Magic Resistance is an on/off thing. There are no other values to it. It can be because of the material something is made of (veil iron, for instance), enhancives, and random other items which are combat gear or not. Things which have this loresong line in them cannot be enchanted, ensorcelled, they cannot even have elemental detect used on them.
