Whittling Knife
A whittling knife (colloquially a "Kali Knife") creates a pin worn wooden embeddable item from an empty ranger imbued wand or rod.Analyze
You analyze the whittling knife and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.
The creator has also provided the following information:
You get the distinct impression that no merchants will alter this knife -- perhaps it has something to do with the knife's special magic.
To whittle, you must have an imbued wand that is appropriate for carving in your left hand. Then just TAP your knife. Remember that you will get better the more you whittle; but if someone else uses the knife, the next time you attempt to carve anything, it will be as if you are new to the art of whittling.
You get no sense of whether or not the knife may be further lightened. Usage
