The Ghule ring is a fluff script that applies to accessory items, and is part of the Ghule items family of scripts. It was originally released at Ebon Gate by Ghule. The following facets are able to be customized by a merchant: color. Ghule rings are fluff rings that, when worn, allow the wearer's eye to flash a set color.

Analyze

Old-Style

New-Style

You analyze the illthorn ring and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a Ghule ring (modern-style).

You get the sense that this ring can be altered, though there are some restrictions.  Any merchant can change its base and long description, but it must remain a ring of some kind.  The only elements of its show description that can be altered are the material of the ring and the COLOR of 'glow' that the gem on it is giving off.

If altering the glow color: it must be a COLOR.  Stick to the actual hue/shade (not other things that it could be doing, like glowing, scintillating, or pulsing, for example), and specifically avoid "deep" in the color and "-hued" to prevent double wording in some messaging (-colored, etc. is fine).  Avoid going overboard on modifiers.

Your ring is currently Tier 2 (of 2) and set to cycle through the following 'glow' colors:
 Default:  crimson; scarlet; yellow; golden; green; viridian; blue; cerulean; violet; white.
 Custom: indigo; shadowed azalea; vivid heliotrope; dusky twilight; smoky indigo; misted violet.  Up to eight different custom colors are allowed on a single ring.  Note that most merchants are limited to modifying (or adding, if you have spare custom color slots) ONE color per alteration session.

Currently you are able to use STARE/PEER/GAZE and RUB/TOUCH with the ring.

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

Usage Information

OTS/Locked

Locked versions offer limited interaction and a single color option which can be customized off-the-shelf. They have access to one verb set for fluff messaging. Note that GAZE, PEER, and STARE all yield the same messaging.

Verb First Third
GAZE, PEER, STARE You raise your hand up in front of you and stare into the crystalline gem inset upon your polished bone ring. As the gem catches the light, you suppress a shudder, and the world momentarily takes on a shadow-infused sanguine hue. XXX's eyes suddenly flash with a shadow-infused sanguine glow.

Unlocked

Unlocked versions allow for up to 10 color options, along with the custom color. They gain access to one more verb for fluff messaging. Note that RUB and TOUCH both yield the same messaging. This verb also drains 5 mana with each use.

Verb First Third
RUB, TURN As you brush the surface of the faceted crystalline gem inset upon your ring, it pulses once with a scarlet glow before slowly shifting in hue to a yellow.

You feel a subtle drawing sensation as though the ring were using your energy to power itself.

XXX's bone ring pulses once with a scarlet glow before shifting in hue to a yellow.
Cycles through available colors. Drains 5 mana.
