Flares Messaging

Today I got this from loresinging:
has been infused with a dark substance.
I came here and did not find that message by doing a "find" search.

What I did find on this gswiki page was:
has been infused with the power of a dark substance.
(void/vacuum flares)

My question: Are these two messages actually for the same thing? This was pretty confusing because I would have expected the messaging to be identical if it was for the same flare type. Can we make this clearer somehow, if there are potentially two different messages that can be gotten for the same flare, perhaps list both messages?

I was actually JUST looking at flaring items on the playershops site and went back to look more closely at the results. Most items listed there have "with the power", though there are a scattering of them that do not include those words. Nothing I thought to look at (flare type, natural enchant of metal vrs further enchanted, added flares vrs born with flares) seemed to correlate with the difference. While looking, I also noticed that some elemental flares are "<element> substance" and others are "<element> elemental". Not sure what causes that difference either.

Trap Difficulty

Anyone know if there is a page like Lock difficulty somewhere for Trap difficulty? I would like to add a link to the article if one can be found. Thanks -Soliere FIRENSIA (talk) 08:59, 11 November 2019 (CST)

Song Blurs

Anyone notice a pattern for the following message? "The <item>'s song blurs, and you are unable to make sense of any of it."

I ask because Nytengale has gotten this a handful of times. She rarely misses anything except high level spell names, and when she misses a spell name, the messaging is usually something about "esoteric murmurs" or somesuch. The "song blurs" message is very difficult to figure, and seems to occur in verse 4 of a loresong. I would like to pin down its meaning and make sure it is mentioned in the main article. Any help will be most appreciated. I'll give an example here:

an enruned amber necklace

loresong verse 1:
This is a small item, under a pound.  In your best estimation, it's worth about 1,400 silvers.

loresong verse 2:
You sense a faint aura of magic surrounding the necklace.  From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the necklace is to cast a spell or perform some magical purpose.

loresong verse 3:
From the rapid vibrations of the amber necklace, you determine it has no spell within it now, but could be imbedded with one, in the proper hands.  You estimate that it can contain an average amount of mana.

loresong verse 4:
The necklace's song blurs, and you are unable to make sense of any of it.
You sense that the amber necklace will disintegrate after its last magical charge has been expended.
Its loresong has been temporarily unlocked by you for 23 hours and 59 minutes.

>prepare 405
>cast my necklace
You sense that this is a magical item.  There seems to be no spells or charges but the flows of essence are strangely attracted to it.  You estimate that it can contain an average amount of mana.
You detect that an enruned amber necklace can be recharged to its original capacity by a merchant.

>inspect my necklace
You carefully inspect your amber necklace.
You determine that you could wear the necklace around your neck.  The necklace appears to serve some purpose.

>analyze my necklace
You analyze your amber necklace and sense that the item is free from merchant alteration restrictions.
You get no sense of whether or not the necklace may be further lightened.

>look at my necklace
You see nothing unusual.
>l on my necklace
There is nothing on the necklace.
>l in my neckl
There is nothing in the necklace.
>l under my neckl
There is nothing under the necklace.
>l behind my necklace
There is nothing behind the necklace.

>put ring on my necklace
You can't seem to find a way to put an intricate gold ring on an enruned amber necklace.
>put ring in my necklace
You can't seem to find a way to put an intricate gold ring in an enruned amber necklace.

I also used ;zesttest and ;testme scripts to check for zests while both wearing and holding the necklace, and there was nothing noteworthy to report.

Avignon, a level 70 bard, sung to the above enruned amber necklace and got the same result for verse 4 ("song blurs"). He was not sure, but speculated that perhaps it is just the normal message for a blank imbeddable (since there is no spell in it, the "song blurs" rather than giving a spell name, etc). I will continue to test blank imbeddables to be sure I'm getting this message every time, just to be absolutely sure. If any other older bard is interested in testing this same necklace, let me know in the game, but I am thinking Avignon has a good point and it is probably the standard messaging for a blank imbed (after all, 405 shows a kind of "strange" message for blank imbed, so loresong may too).
