Globus Elanthias are tiered runestaves with fluff scripts. They have unique flare and block messaging. They can be unlocked to gain the ability to absorb the souls of the creatures it kills, which allows the user to trigger special abilities. They have been sold at Once From a Soul during Ebon Gate.

Analyze

You analyze your orase runestaff and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is the Globus Elanthias runestaff, or more commonly the Soul Eater runestaff.  It has spectral shapes as its flare type.  There is a skull made of carnelian that is wedged into the top of the length of orase, and it can be customized in the following way:

Globe Type: Globe, Orb, Sphere, Spheroid, Ball, Skull
Globe Material: Glaesine, Glass, Crystalline, Obsidian, Clear Gemstone

An orase runestaff can be altered with a long or a show description.  If it has a long description, then it will always have a show of "Firmly wedged at the top of the length of orase is carnelian skull."  However, if it does not have a show description, then it will always have a show of "Sinew and rawhide bind the top of the length of orase to create a cradle for carnelian skull that rests within it."  If you are designing your own show, you may ask your alterer to include how the skull is wedged into the runestaff, but it must always be at the top.

It is currently 4 of 4 Tiers.

With the following verbs available: Attend*, Bow, Chuckle, Clean, Gaze**, Greet, Nudge, Point, Prod, Raise, Rub***, Tap****, and Wave

You have unlocked the Soul Eating feature, which will charge your runestaff.  You can only charge it with creatures that you can learn from.  Some creatures will give more charges than others.

The runestaff currently has 0 charges stored in it.

Your orase runestaff will produce a second flare during combat that costs 15 charges at activation.  This option can be toggled off using PROD.
* This is a feature change (hair) option that will last 1 hour and cost 5 charges to activate.
** This is a feature change (eyes) option that will last 1 hour and cost 5 charges to activate.
*** This is a feature change (unique) option that will last 1 hour and cost 5 charges to activate.
**** Soul Storm - This allows for you to cause the collected souls to fly out of your runestaff to do damage to the surrounding creatures/people and costs 50 charges to activate with a 1 hour cool down.  ~*~ Please note, if done in town you will be sent to jail.  ~*~

Additional Information

Block Messaging

Lifting from its setting in XXX's bronze-wrapped staff, a bronze-sheened blown glass sphere blocks the blast meant for her and scatters it before returning to its natural perch.

Flare Messaging

Rising from the bronze-sheened blown glass that is wedged into your bronze-wrapped staff, a forlorn shade rushes towards a grey orc and hovers before her.  Its ravaged face appears tormented, and its maw hangs open as it begins to draw a deep, exaggerated breath that sucks the air from a grey orc's lungs.  As she struggles for breath, the shade begins to grin with malign content and then slowly dissipates.

Soul Eating Messaging

The globe wedged into your staff suddenly lifts from its setting and hovers over the lifeless form of a grey orc for several seconds.  You watch as the spectral image of the a grey orc seems to lift from its body and gets drawn, screaming, into the globe.  Slowly, it floats its way back to its waiting perch and slips into the staff with a soft *clink*.
