Analyze

You analyze the linen soutane and sense that the creator has provided the following information: This soutane has been imbued by shadow one time.

Its tiny dark tendrils seem to undulate without bias.

As it hungers for the spirit of the living, your ability to overcome adversity will be tested until

it is satisfied with your commitment, after which your hard work will be rewarded.

Wearing it is not without risk, and removing it is not without cost. You can PULL it to sacrifice
your spiritual tether for safe detachment.

You can RUB the soutane to gauge its hunger and TOUCH it to hush its presence.

You sense an additional action:

BOW

When being altered, its appearance must remain suitable for its dark, cryptic nature.
Examine:
Tiny dark tendrils undulate across the soutane's surface.You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.
