narrow space between two buildings, [Map Room #16], 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. You also see a wave-painted brick door. | |

1500 On the dilapidated wooden shelf you see: a shimmering trinket, a dog-eared brown suede tome, an immaculate white leather codex, a bulbous vibrant crimson bottle, a gold-caged lustrous green jar, a silver-chased dark purple bottle, a squat pale pink 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 foamy amber cordial, a viscous opalescent brew and a bubbling bright green draught.
a shimmering trinket Weight: <1 pound pin-worn
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.
