A Skull ring is used to lock unscripted containers, bypassing Lock Mastery, and can be found on the Return to Black Swan Castle Prize List as a sapphire-eyed golden skull ring.

Analyze

You analyze your golden skull ring and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a skull ring. It can be altered, but must remain a "skull ring" in the description. Part of the SHOW/LOOK description is static. It currently isn't attuned.

You get no sense of whether or not the ring may be further lightened.

A pair of ghostly hands appears for a moment, and then disappears. A howling wail mutters, "I'm on break! I dun care about your stupid snotrag, or toothpick of ultimate doom, or cloak colored vividly black and painted with sigils of doom and destruction! You are going to have to wait!

You gesture at a sapphire-eyed golden skull ring.
The eyes on the golden skull ring glaze over and a black aura swirls around you. A ghostly voice wails, "The ring is not currently attuned to anyone. It was last attuned on Niiman, day 2 of the month Jastatos, in the year 5114 at roughly 02:39 by the elven time standard." The black aura fades away and the silver skull ring returns to normal.
