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 T4 ANALYZE for the Imbued Shrouds, unlocked by a Sorcerer. You analyze your 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 whispers from the spirit contained within your shroud currently have a chance of being heard by others in the same room. To toggle this off, RUB your shroud. 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 4 out of a maximum of 4 Tiers. This shroud has the following actions available: WEAR, REMOVE, PULL, PUSH, RUB, SMELL, TWIST, and SHAKE. At this Tier, the shroud has Spirit Shriek unlocked. This shroud currently has 1 uses of Spirit Shriek left. This shroud refills to its maximum of 1 uses of Spirit Shriek every day. This shroud is NOT unlocked for Greater Spirit Shriek. This shroud is restricted, and can only be worn by a Sorcerer. You can tell that the shroud is as light as it can get and that its pockets could not possibly get any deeper. 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 the Tier 3 unlock, based on the profession of the individual holding the shroud when the certificate is used. From there, only someone of the same profession will be able to unlock Tier 4, or wear/use the shroud. This information can be seen in ANALYZE. You can only wear one Shroud at a time, and they are functional equipment. At T1 and T2, when the spirit is glimpsed, they are stationary. At T3/T4, the spirit is emoting in some fashion when it's glimpsed. 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. Greater Spirit Shriek is akin to Major Elemental Wave (435). The spirits do not have proper names (like Bill, or John, or Anderson, or Keanu). Custom spirits will let you choose: Race, Profession/Archetype, Gender, Speaking Tone, Expression, Messaging for when someone glimpses the spirit, 9 individual whispers.
