Shadowplay Garb is a line of fashionwear that has verb messaging which varies on whether the garment is in its neutral, light, or dark state, which can be changed by casting certain spells. In addition to variable messaging, unlocked garments have three different descriptions or "sides", which correspond to the verb messaging for neutral, light, and dark.
Casting Light or Sunburst will turn the garment to its light side and associated scripts. Evoking Darkness or casting Camouflage will turn the garment to its dark side and associated scripts. Using DUST will revert the garment back to its neutral side and associated scripts.
Shadowplay Gowns debuted at Ebon Gate 2022 in the shop Shadowplay in Evermore Hollow. Shadowplay Doublets were introduced in 2025 and are sold in the same location.
Shadowplay Gown
Shadowplay Gowns are the original style of garment. The verb messaging associated with them is feminine in nature.Analyze
You analyze the ramie silk gown and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
An elaborately draped gown of lustrous cinnamon ramie silk is a Shadowplay Gown. It is currently unlocked to Tier 1 of 4.
At Tier 1, the gown will trap LEAN and LOWER.
At Tier 2, the gown gains the ability to shift from light to dark when certain spells are cast at it. It will also trap CURTSY and TILT.
At Tier 3, it will trap RUB and SPIN.
When fully unlocked to Tier 4, it will trap FOLD and PULL.
When altering this gown, you will need to provide a neutral 15/15/15, a dark 15/15/15, and a light 15/15/15. The same is true for long descriptions. If the gown has a look description, it must be appropriate for all three phases and must accompany long descriptions.
When altering these, you can use synonyms for 'shadowy' or 'luminous' as long as they are clearly indicative of the intent (namely that when in light form, they are luminescent/luminous/illuminated, and when they are in dark mode, they are shadowy/shaded). The neutral form is just like any regular gown alteration.
You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the ramie silk gown for you or deepen its pockets.

Shadowplay Doublet
Shadowplay Doublets are a newer version of the garment. The verb messaging associated with them is masculine in nature.Analyze
You analyze the ebon wyrsilk doublet and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
A tall-collared ebon wyrsilk doublet draped with a thin silver chain is a piece of Shadowplay Garb. It is currently unlocked to Tier 4 of 4.
At Tier 1, the doublet will trap LEAN and LOWER.
At Tier 2, the doublet gains the ability to shift from light to dark when certain spells are cast at it. It will also trap CURTSY or BOW and TILT.
At Tier 3, it will trap RUB and SPIN.
When fully unlocked to Tier 4, it will trap FOLD and PULL.
When altering this piece of garb, you will need to provide a neutral 15/15/15, a dark 15/15/15, and a light 15/15/15. The same is true for long descriptions. If the garb has a look description, it must be appropriate for all three phases and must accompany long descriptions.
When altering these, you can use synonyms for 'shadowy' or 'luminous' as long as they are clearly indicative of the intent (namely that when in light form, they are luminescent/luminous/illuminated, and when they are in dark mode, they are shadowy/shaded). The neutral form is just like any regular garb alteration. In all forms, the material and style should remain consistent.
This doublet's description can be changed by casting appropriate spells at it. It can be turned back into its neutral form by using the DUSTverb.
You get no sense of whether or not the doublet may be further lightened.
