Imbued Shroud

Imbued Shrouds were initially released during June 2021 Rumor Woods and sold at The Spirits Within. The concept was designed and delivered by GM Quilic. Analyze Below is the off-the-shelf ANALYZE for the Imbued Shrouds. You analyze the shadowy black shroud and sense that the creator has provided the following information: This is an "Imbued Shroud," and it contains a giantwoman poet, with an melancholy expression on her face. The spirit can NOT be changed or altered in any way. The spirit can occasionally be glimpsed by others when the shroud is worn and will WHISPER things to the wearer, and at higher unlock tiers those whispers can be heard by others in the room. When fully unlocked, this shadowy black shroud has the ability to unleash a wave attack a certain number of times per day. Alteration Information: This shadowy black shroud must remain a "shroud" and must always remain a cloth garment of very high quality, thus nothing even remotely tattered, torn, shabby, ragged, stained, etc. Aside from that, there are no restrictions. The shroud can handle both long and show descriptions with no trouble. This shroud is currently Tier 1 out of a maximum of 4 Tiers. Tier 1 Neckworn container which holds one very small item (increasing with each tier unlocked), inhabited by a spirit which will occasionally whisper to the wearer. The spirit contained within each shroud has a chance to be glimpsed by others from time to time, appearing between features and tattoos. In addition, the whispers of the spirit will occasionally be heard by those in the same room as the wearer. The odds for both of these go up as the shroud is unlocked to higher tiers.

Special Rules The enhancive is set at the time of unlock, based on the class of the individual holding the shroud when the certificate is used. You can only wear one Shroud at a time, and they are functional equipment. The whispers can be turned off for the room, but never for the wearer. Whispers to the room will adhere to the "No Ambient" flag setting, allowing players to opt out of seeing them at the same time as other ambients. Both T3 and T4 enhancives are +3 to stat. T4 does not affect T3's enhancive. The enhancives are charge-based, and have roughly 25% of a Premium Enhancive's number of charges. Spirit Shriek uses reset at midnight, EST, and there is no cooldown on their use. The functionality closely mirrors Elemental Wave (410), and you can reliably use that as a comparison for what Spirit Shriek would affect. The spirits do not have proper names (like Bill, or John, or Anderson, or Keanu).
