A '''star chart''' is an interactive fluff item depicting constellations, stellar events, and lunar phases. It can be rolled closed or unfurled for viewing. The script was created in 2001 for the Celestial Shop.

==Analyze==
<pre{{log2}}>
You sense that only the base description (15/15/15) may be altered by a talented merchant, but even then, the noun must remain the same.

You can try to OPEN, CLOSE, RUB, WAVE, TOUCH, SPIN/TURN, PINCH, and TILT the chart.
</pre>

==Usage==
Most actions require the chart to be held. LOOK can be used without holding it.
