The Sour Juggler vissi is a chimera vissi that is part of the vissi system. It must be placed inside an arcarium to function. As a singular vissi, it has the same effect no matter what type of arcarium houses it.

Show off your juggling skills by accepting a helping hand from your companion vissi.

Currently available as a prize for each complete run of the Inquisitor's Pennant Chase, Treehouse arena. They are also sold for aevit. See the full upgrade costs below.

Tier 1

The vissi has "Fumbled Juggle" verb messaging for its activator verb, which can be set or changed via ATTEND.

Analyze

You analyze the Sour Juggler vissi and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

The Sour Juggler vissi can be added to a vissi artifact in order to augment the artifact with custom abilities.  Each vissi artifact may hold up to 5 different types of vissi, and each vissi may be upgradable by adding additional vissi of the same type to the artifact.

The Sour Juggler vissi is named Sour Juggler and it is a Chimera vissi.

This vissi notes the following ability information:

Show off your juggling skills by accepting a helping hand from your companion vissi.

The vissi may have abilities you can activate by using certain verbs (RUB, TAP, PUSH, PULL, or POKE) on the vissi artifact you add them to.  In order to set the activator, use ATTEND on the vissi.  The vissi might not have an ability you may activate, in which case ATTEND will indicate that.

Sometimes, a vissi may have multiple abilities you can activate with the activator verbs.  You can TILT the vissi to switch between them.  Tilt will not respond if the vissi has only a single ability (or no abilities at all).  You may only have one ability active at a time.

In addition, the vissi may have abilities with customizable messaging options.  You can TURN the vissi to customize each set of options.  Once on a set of options, you can TWIST the vissi to cycle through the available customizations.

Finally, some vissi may contain ambient messaging, which you can toggle on or off with COVER.

It is currently tier 1 out of 5.  It is empowered by 1 thread.
