An identifying sheath, sometimes simply called an ID sheath, is a lightly scripted weapon container that makes different noises when weapons are inserted. The sound is based on the weapon's properties. It appears from testing that weighting overrides flares in messaging.

Analyze

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

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the steel shoulder sheath for you or deepen its pockets.
