Quartz Orb Baldric

Quartz Orb Baldrics were first released during Ebon Gate 2017 at the Sorcerer Sartorial and have the ability to hold up to four heavy quartz orb charges depending on the level of unlocking (one charge per tier). Due to the fact that they are not considered a container, they cannot be lightened or deepened. Since EG 2019, Tier-5 baldrics have been released on a limited basis at paid events. Tier-5 quartz orb baldrics have the ability to hold up to five charges.

Look

Tier 1

0 Charges:
The yoke is constructed of layers of black brocade that span your shoulders and lie closely down the front of your torso.  Four nested circles form the yoke's central design, which is composed of dozens of faceted crystals, with each crystal ensconced in its own fluted gold setting.  At the moment, all of the crystals appear dull and lifeless.

1 Charge:
The yoke is constructed of layers of black brocade that span your shoulders and lie closely down the front of your torso.  Four nested circles form the yoke's central design, which is composed of dozens of faceted crystals, with each crystal ensconced in its own fluted gold setting.  Of the four circles, the innermost one glows a bright green.

Tier 4

3 Charges:
The yoke is constructed of layers of green brocade that span your shoulders and lie closely down the front of your torso. Four nested circles form the yoke's central design, which is composed of dozens of faceted crystals, with each crystal ensconced in its own fluted gold setting. Of the four circles, the inner three glow a bright golden yellow while the outer one is lit by a dim inner light.

4 Charges:
The yoke is constructed of layers of green brocade that span your shoulders and lie closely down the front of your torso.

Inspect

Tier 1

You carefully inspect your quartz-adorned yoke.

You estimate that a black quartz-adorned yoke with a green serpentine border can store a small amount with enough space for a couple of items.

You determine that you could wear the yoke over your front.  The yoke appears to serve some purpose.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of cloth.

Analyze

Tier 1

You analyze your quartz-adorned yoke and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

Looking over the yoke and inspecting its finer details, you realize that it will always need to be "a/n (whatever)/quartz-adorned/baldric or yoke".  This means the item's article CAN be changed.  Only "baldric" and "yoke" are valid as nouns, and the adjective of "quartz-adorned" is unalterable.  Also, the allowed wear-locations are shoulder-worn for baldrics and front-worn for yokes.  So if your alteration involves changing the noun, realize the wear-location MUST BE changed also.

NOTE:  The script's description of the yoke refers to it as "Constructed of layers of (color) (material)..." and bearing a central design of "One nested circles...composed of dozens of faceted crystals," so keep that in mind if you request an alteration.  The material and color of the yoke CAN be changed.  This item cannot accept a SHOW description, since the script already utilizes that mechanism.

The color that the charged crystals glow CAN be changed.  It must be no longer than fifteen characters.

If you were to play with the quartz-adorned yoke, then you'd find that you can analyze, wear, remove, clench, push, and rub it.

This is a Tier 1 yoke, with four tiers in total.  This yoke is sold OTS with one tier unlocked.

SCRIPT NAME: Quartz Orb Baldric

This yoke CANNOT be lightened or deepened at all.
