A Pendulum Scrying Pouch is a neck-worn scripted divination tool used by the human Tehir culture of Shakat. It is sold at the Mist Harbor shop, The Black Sands, and requires the sand to be refilled with sand purchased from the wagon. Each handful of sand will create three patterns. The pouch only holds the sand sold alongside it.

Analyze

You analyze your pendulum pouch and sense that it may be altered with either a long or show description.  Based on the design, you realize that changing the noun would be impossible.  While the material it is made out of may be changed, you sense that it would need to be something that can be capped and worn on a necklace.  The cap, strap, and closing toggle may all be altered.  They are currently set to bone toggle, slender cap, and long, suede strap, with a material of leather.

Usage

Pouch

The pouch must be held for the scrying verb PUSH to work.
