2021Q1

a narrow space between two buildings, [Map Room 3], Lich# 26877, go narrow space

Spellbound

[Spellbound - 26878]
With barely enough room to move around, this cramped space between the two buildings seems more like a trap than anything else. A small pile of crumbled cement has gathered on the floor beneath a brick that protrudes slightly from the wall. Trails of fresh rat droppings lead between a sigil-incised display case and a rune-covered wooden crate.
Obvious exits: south, out
dust-covered note
Items in the case are magical trinkets which automatically recharge daily: Green Mossbark Wand: Wild Entropy (603) - 40x/day White Ora Rod: Condemn (309) - 40x/day Twisted Crystal Wand: Phase (704) - 40x/day Earthen Brock Rock Trinket: Tremors (909) - 40x/day White Eonake Cross: Remove Curse (315) - 3x/day Golden Shield Pin: Mantle of Faith (1601) - 3x/day Blue Quartz Pin: Mindward (1208) - 1x/day Small Statue Clasp: Spirit Guard (1712) - 1x/day Shiny Gold Coin Pin: Arcane Decoy (1701) - 20x/day Green Leaf Symbol: Phoen's Strength (606) - 1x/day Shiny Knight Symbol: Dauntless (1606) - 1x/day Pearl-edged White Ora Cube: Benediction (307) - 1x/day Bright Yellow Potion Trinket: Adrenal Surge (1107) - 3x/day Divine Monocles allow you to see what pantheon your fellow adventurers are aligned with and for those trained in RELIGION LORE they will even give a glimpse of the adventurer's preferred deity. New potions on the shelf! The absinthe green tincture significantly increases one's enchanting skill and comes with 5 doses (new style Enchanting only!). The pearlescent purple philter significantly increases one's ensorcelling skill and comes with 1 dose. The blue-violet infusion significantly increases one's loresong unlocking skill and comes with 1 dose. Lastly, the dilute copper ayan'eth potions (8x), dilute silver ayan'eth potions (9x), and dilute golden ayan'eth potions (10x) are for pretempering to enchant items to much higher than normal levels (8-10x) and come with 5 doses each.

In the sigil-incised display case you see: a blackened green mossbark wand, an elegant white ora rod, a twisted crystal wand, an earthen brown rock trinket, a gleaming white eonake cross, a dazzling golden shield pin, a blue quartz symbol, a small statue clasp, a shiny gold coin pin, a green leaf symbol, a metallic shiny knight symbol, a pearl-edged white ora cube engraved with variegated symbols and a bright yellow potion trinket.

A smoke-tinted rolaren monocle is a religious item that is designed to allow the wearer to gaze at another person and discern the pantheon of that person's deity.

USAGE: GAZE MY {MONOCLE} [AT {PLAYER}]

Additional USAGE: Exhale, Remove, Rub, Touch, Turn, and Wear

Turning the monocle allows it to be toggled to become hidden in your inventory and show up in your unique feature line. If it is not toggled, then it will show normally in the inventory line.
Currently, the monocle is not toggled and will be worn normally.

This monocle may be altered freely provided it stays with the noun of monocle, has a lens and metal frame.

On the dilapidated wooden shelf you see: a shimmering trinket, a smooth turquoise leather journal embossed with a peacock feather, an ivory suede-spined gold puma fur-covered ledger, a translucent gold and teal bottle, a twine-wrapped smoky grey jar, a gold-leafed shimmering pink bottle, a black-eyed skull-shaped jar, a shimmering certificate, a glittering ticket, a dilute golden ayan'eth potion, a dilute silver ayan'eth potion, a dilute copper ayan'eth potion, a pale blue-violet infusion, an absinthe green tincture and a pearlescent purple philter.

a shimmering trinket Weight: <1 pound pin-worn
analyze, examine
Analyze:
The shimmering trinket is a "Shimmer Trinket", which can store the appearance of wearable items and project them over your normal clothing when it's worn. Just wear whatever items you want in whatever order you desire, then ATTEND the trinket. Once worn, it will only display those items while concealing all others. You may also CLEAN it to remove the previously stored appearance. If it is deactivated due to running out of charges, after it is recharged, you may PROD it to turn it back on. TURN will enable/disable how exact of an item must match in your inventory to be used (for items that shift in description). PUSH will rotate between the available appearance sets.

It is not currently active, but is using set 1 (out of 1): nothing special at this time.

The trinket must be periodically recharged by casting Shroud of Deception (1212) at it or by merchants. A charge is depleted when the trinket is set to an appearance and every 30 days thereafter.

Examine:
A soft shimmer resonates through the trinket, making it appear to be every color and yet no color at all.

a narrow space between two buildings, [Map Room #], Lich# 26878, south

Spellbound, Crevice

[Spellbound, Crevice - 26881]
Collapsing cement blocks are surrounded by cascading dirt and debris that integrate into a filthy rubble at the base of the side wall. Imposing upon most of the space, a dilapidated birch shelf and a decaying oaken slab are haphazardly lodged in the cramped, dingy crevice.
Obvious exits: north
