Analyze

These wooden chopsticks are utensils.
They may be freely altered to chopsticks, shogu'ro, or pul'crigzt.
You could PINCH, POKE, PROD, or momentarily WEAR them.  PROD will change your skill when using them; currently, the skill is set to average.  Masterful is only available for Erithians using shogu'ro or Half-Krolvin using pul'crigzt.  PINCH and POKE can target another character.  There are no tiers to unlock.

Alterations are fine, but they must remain a pair of / some type of chopsticks / shogu'ro / pul'crigzt.

Usage Information
