AnalyzeYou analyze the silver needle and sense that the creator has provided the following information: This is a piercing needle! See the PIERCE verb for how-to-pierce info. Verbs: FLIP, SPIN. Under specific circumstances, you can also CAST (at), POUR (on), and RUB (with) specific spells and items to sharpen/dull, sanitize, and/or cool off the needle. Alterations: Anyone can aesthetically alter these, but it must remain a needle of some sort that makes sense for piercing purposes. It also cannot include any kind of dirty/clean designation in its description. Info regarding its sharpness, if it's very very very dirty, and if it is hot will always display as part of LOOK. You get no sense of whether or not the needle may be further lightened. Usage
Additional InformationCleaning and SharpeningPiercing needles are sharp and sterile off-the-shelf, but should be sharpened and cleaned after each use. Repeated piercings with the same piercing needle will cause the needle to dull and a whet stone of some type is required to sharpen it again. Any stone, even a smooth stone, can serve as a whet stone for a piercing needle. Diamonds can also be used in place of a whet stone. The Piercing Kit also has a built in whet stone for sharpening needles between use. In addition, repeatedly using the same needle without cleaning it can introduce early infections into the person being pierced. Cleaning a piercing needle can be done via a fire spell (such as Fire Spirit (111)), Heal (1101), or pouring alcohol on it. A fully sharpened needle looks like this: The needle's tip appears sharper than a razor, and it gleams brightly.
>pour rum on my needle You pour some of your mint on the rum onto the tip of your needle and twirl it around a bit, making sure the entire sharpened point gets coated. Roundtime: 10 secs. >PREP 111 You utter a light chant and raise your hands, beckoning the lesser spirits to aid you with the Fire Spirit spell... Your spell is ready. >cast my needle You gesture at a long black steel needle. You send forth a carefully-controlled trail of flame onto the needle's tip, and its sharpened point begins to glow a blazing red. >look needle You see nothing unusual. The needle's tip appears sharper than a razor, and it gleams brightly. The needle's tip looks to be glowing red hot at the moment. After cleaning with a fire spell, one must wait a few minutes for the needle to cool down before using it on another person. If one does not wait, the following will occur: You lean over toward Person's right eyebrow and line up your black steel needle at a precise point. Clenching X's skin tightly, you drive the needle into Person swiftly, puncturing his skin in one clean movement. Person lets out a scream of agony as the red-hot tip of the needle pierces his flesh! (Piercer's view) You let out a scream of agony as the red-hot tip of the needle pierces your flesh! (Person pierced view) Moving fluidly, you slide the vaalin spike into the small puncture wound you've made. Roundtime: 15 secs. Piercing LocationsSee Also |
