The Modern Morph is a new shop that will be coming to Duskruin with an old item in it that is getting some tender loving care.

The original morphing item was created by GM Tilmont back in 2003. It was a revolutionary design that allowed your runestaff to be morphed into a wearable item based on where it was worn. The available nouns were belt, wristlet, and circlet. Unfortunately, as the game progressed and you were allowed to do more and more with your runestaff, the script stayed largely the same and prevented the runestaff from being customized to its fullest.

In 2020, GM Haxus and I did some minor tweaks to it to try to get it working with current standards so that those loyal to it could improve it. We added the ability to toggle it so it couldn't be sold, we added Subscript, Custom Flare Messaging, and support for Acuity and Mana flares, as well as the Lore Song Unlock.

However, each time this item was looked at it became clear that we would have to go further to bring it to current standards. So, this DR the new Modern Morph will be released.

Let me assure you all, if you own a morphing runestaff then you need not fear for it because it will automatically be upgraded to the current standard. You won't feel a thing. Once the update is made live, please register your item. And then all you will have to do is morph it and unmorph it. Should some hiccup happen, simply assist and get a referral so that I can look at it.

From that point forward, you'll be able to modify it just as you would a normal runestaff. For customizing you'll be able to do the following:

Give it a long, show, or both descriptions.
Change the base 15/15/15 of it.
Add flares, subscripts, ensorcell, enchant, etc.
Change the material (with the appropriate certifications) away from plain old wood.

The wearable item will also be able to have its base 15/15/15 change, including its noun (so long as it is appropriate to its worn location), and it can have a long or show or both description.

The old morphing runestaff had access to bow, clench, lean, and point when it was in runestaff form and bow, clench, rub, and tap when it was in its worn form. Those verbs are staying, but there will be an unlock certificate for sale as well that will give it access to grin, raise, rub, and spin in runestaff form, and exhale, nudge, push, and touch when in its worn form.

Teaser of some of the new verbs:

grin my runestaff
Bemused, you rest your hand on the top of your wooden runestaff and lean on it as you listen to your surroundings.

raise my runestaff
Lifting your wooden runestaff high in the air, you gesture expansively with both it and your free hand.

exhale my wrist
You slowly empty your lungs, releasing the tension of the day as you idly toy with your rune wristlet.

remove my wrist
You remove a rune wristlet from your wrist.

exhale my wrist
Holding a rune wristlet close to your mouth, you exhale onto it and then briefly rub at its surface with the edge of your green chainsil cape.

push my wrist
Noticing that your rune wristlet has shifted up your forearm, you carefully push it down to a less constricting position on your wrist
