The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Reverence symbols are old scripted holy-styled symbols that may have had unique messaging for Arkati settings and generic, when held in the hand (however the messaging does not vary, upon recent testing). They contained an imbedded spell in the spirit of the deity. They are not holy items and are magic resistant, but persist upon depletion of the imbdedded spell's charges.

Analyze
You analyze the Mularos symbol and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.
The creator has also provided the following information:
This Mularos symbol has three verbs (HUG, KISS, RAISE) that generally show reverence to the item. In addition, the PUSH verb will toggle the messaging between the original, generic messaging and an Arkati-based mode. If no Arkati-based custom messaging is found for a deity, the generic messaging is used.
Alterations:
The symbol can be altrered normally.
You get no sense of whether or not the symbol may be further lightened.
