Analyze Info
You analyze your eye-shaped ruby periapt and sense that the item cannot be altered in any way.
The creator has also provided the following information:
This eye-shaped ruby periapt will to try show hidden or invisible players and creatures in a room, exactly like the Presence spell.
The periapt does not use charges and it must be worn to be active. At its base rate, it will fire every 5 minutes, and it can be speeded up from that base rate up to a maximum rate of fire of once every 5 seconds.
To increase the periapt's rate of firing, it must have power. The SEND verb is used to power it up (SEND {amount} periapt).
When the periapt is active (i.e., it's being worn) and has energy stored in it (which speeds it up), it will consume 1,000 points of that stored energy per pulse. Remove it to turn it off.
The periapt can hold 90,000 points of energy, maximum. If power is sent to the periapt when it's at maximum energy, there's a 10% chance the sender gets zapped, the amount of zappage is based on the amount of points sent.
LOOKing at the periapt will provide an estimate of how fully charged it is. When the periapt glows with an intense inner red light (at around 30,000 stored power), it has reached its maximum rate of firing once every 5 seconds. When it is powered up fully to 90,000 it will glow with a brilliant red light.
The eye-shaped ruby periapt cannot be altered.
You get no sense of whether or not the periapt may be further lightened.
