Spinning leaf pin

A spinning leaf pin is a scripted pin that was a prize at the Fallen Leaves game at Ebon Gate 2006. You could trade in 5 of one kind of pin for a pin of the next rank. There were 5 ranks: hammered copper (1); verdigrised bronze (2); quartz-veined silver (3); onyx-edged golden deringo (4); and vaalin-swept illthorn. Each rank carries two unlocked verbs, and the fifth had a show description in addition to the 8 verb traps. Analyze This is a Spinning Leaf Pin. It was a prize at the Falling Leaves carnival game.

Additional Information The pin came in at least two different varieties: an onyx-edged golden deringo leaf pin a vaalin-swept illthorn leaf pin The illthorn pin also came with the following show: Cast from a thin sheet of hammered imflass, the pin bears the natural green-gold tint of the metal, changing tones as the light catches it at different angles. Delicately furled leaf edges, displaying the characteristic sawtooth-edges of illthorn, combined with the opalescent vaalin detailing of the veining, give the illusion that the leaf is newly fallen from a nearby grove. The SPIN verb allows the user to randomly pick an individual in the room, similarly to a merchant spinner. Unlike a merchant spinner, however, this pin cannot be set to exclude anyone who was previously picked.
