The Cobbling Settings Maker Box is a fluff crafting script that applies to miscellaneous items, and is part of the Cobbling items family of scripts. It was originally released at Duskruin February 2024. The following facets are able to be customized by a merchant: adjective settings and shape settings. It is used in the cobbling system to craft cobbling adornment settings for use in cobbled footwear. It uses gems to create settings.

Analyze

You analyze the ebonwood box and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

************************* Cobbling Settings Maker Box ******************************
This ebonwood box will allow you to put a gemstone inside and make some settings used for cobbling, e.g. beads, buttons, studs, and insets.
e.g. beads, buttons, studs, and insets.
- TURN cycles through available PRE-STYLES, or TURN MY box AT {#} to select a specific one.
- ATTEND cycles through available POST-STYLES, or ATTEND MY box AT {#} to select a specific one.
- GAZE to see all available PRE-STYLES and POST-STYLES.
- PONDER - Cycle through the available unlocked design styles.
- WHISPER - Select one of the unlocked design styles.  Syntax is WHISPER MY ebonwood box {design}.
- FLIP to change how much of the description you include.
- STARE to consider how the different flip options would look. 
- PUSH the box to create the settings.
WARNING:  The donated gems will be destroyed.

The look of the ebonwood box can be altered by any merchant, but it should remain a box-like item.  A talented cobbling merchant can add up to 5 custom adjective settings (PRE-STYLE) and 4 custom shape settings (POST-STYLE).

A talented merchant can add charges to your ebonwood box.  Alternatively, you can LOAD the box with emeralds to charge it.  It currently has 25 out of 50 charges.  It could be made permanent at a PERM-ifier.

Custom settings:
 PRE-STYLE Setting 1: patinaed copper-caged
 PRE-STYLE Setting 2: sparkly
 PRE-STYLE Setting 3: Not Set
 PRE-STYLE Setting 4: Not Set
 PRE-STYLE Setting 5: Not Set
 POST-STYLE Setting 1: marshmallow
 POST-STYLE Setting 2: map
 POST-STYLE Setting 3: cactus
 POST-STYLE Setting 4: crescent moon
Because you have the Patterns unlock, you only have four potential POST-STYLE custom slots.
