Shadowplay Gown

The Shadowplay Gown is a line of fashionwear sold at the shop Shadowplay. These gowns have verb traps which vary based on whether the gown is in its neutral, light, or dark state, which can be changed by casting or evoking Light at it. When altering an unlocked gown, they can have a total of three "sides" which correspond to the verb messaging for neutral, light, and dark. Casting Light or Sunburst will turn the gown to its light side and associated scripts. Evoking Darkness or casting Camouflage will turn the gown to its dark side and associated scripts. Using DUST will revert the gown back to its neutral side and associated scripts.

When altering this gown, you will need to provide a neutral 15/15/15, a dark 15/15/15, and a light 15/15/15. The same is true for long descriptions. If the gown has a look description, it must be appropriate for all three phases and must accompany long descriptions.

The neutral form is just like any regular gown alteration. You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the ramie silk gown for you or deepen its pockets.

Additional Information Altering Notes The gown needs to be unlocked to Tier 2 in order to test the different sides after being altered. When altering the gowns, you can have three different 15/15/15s (neutral, dark, light) and three different long descriptions (neutral, dark, light). All of those must be provided at the time of alter. If you already have long descriptions, the gown may be further altered to have a look description, but this one must be appropriate for all of the forms, as the dark and light versions will insert messaging after the LOOK to indicate their status. Information about altering from merchant Amdirlost at Ebon Gate: "The basic premise of the item needs to remain the same, the sides indicate light/luminous or dark/shadowy. We have some wiggle room, but the gown can't change drastically between the sides. When doing the light side, please keep in mind that it does need to be a bit glowy, just as the dark side needs to indicate that it's shadowy." See Also Scripted gowns
