Erithi Incense

Created by GM Xynwen, the incense was first released at 2021's Festival of the Fallen. It can be toggled between general incense and funeral incense, which will update what sort of messaging the incense does. In addition, if an erithi is using the funeral version, they have slightly different actions (and another erithi will notice those subtle differences).

Analyze

You analyze the nakheva-twined incense and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
~*~ Erithi Incense for General and Funeral Usages~*~

This incense is set for funeral usage and can be toggled using PUSH.

It can have up to seven custom scents that you can POKE to cycle through.  This can be altered with a base, long, and show (merchant dependent).  A merchant may also add additional charges to your incense with the possibility of unlimited charges under special circumstances or when the PERM-ifier is available.

The incense has special messaging for GAZE, PRAY, AND WAVE.  Messaging varies if lit or unlit, held or not held, and if it is funeral incense, the special messaging also varies if the activator is an erithi.

Stay-Put Mechanics:
This item has Stay-Put qualities.  If you PLACE it, it will be moved to the ground in your current room and stay there, unable to be picked up by others or taken by the janitor, for 4 hours.  You may NUDGE it at a valid container to place the incense on top of the container until you NUDGE it out of its place again.  After the duration expires, the item is fair game for others and for the janitor.  Alternately, the item may be PLACEd by the owner of a private property within the grounds of the property or by the owner of a stall or loft in and will stay there until PLACEd or NUDGEd again.

Private Properties:
The owner of a private property may PLACE or NUDGE their incense and then TURN it to make it a permanent fixture.  Once you do this, you cannot pick it up again.
Your nakheva-twined incense has a long time left.

Scent Setup:
These should be real scents (ocean breeze, zesty lemon, cinnamon) and NOT ideas (tears of my enemies).  You can combine a few scents, but it must work with phrases like "the scent of (insert scent here) or "(scent)-scented smoke."  Example: some smoke smelling of zesty lemon and rotting fish OR the zesty lemon and rotting fish-scented smoke.  Any more than 3 would get too unwieldy, and the person performing the service has final say.

Your incense has the following scents:
  mist and damp earth
  rotting fish

You get no sense of whether or not the incense may be further lightened.

Verbs

Note: This is very rough and can be updated to the right format for any interested.

Light

 >light my incense
General:  With expert flair, you light some nakheva-twined incense.
Funeral:  You carefully light the end of some nakheva-twined incense, creating wisps of mist and damp earth-scented smoke. 

Poke:
This cycles through available scents (if there is only one scent, normal poke messaging applies).

 >poke my incense
You gently poke your incense.  The scent is now rotting fish.
>poke my incense
You gently poke your incense.  The scent is now mist and damp earth.

Push:
This toggles between general and funeral usage.

 >push my incense
You change your incense to general usage.  You can PUSH again to toggle back.
G>push my incense
You change your incense to funerary usage.  You can PUSH again to toggle back.

Smell:
The incense will smell like the scent it is currently set to.

>smell my incense
You sniff the incense and detect hints of mist and damp earth.

Ambients

Ambients occur when the incense is lit, and they will vary depending on whether or not the incense is held or on the ground. When held, there are a few ambients that may be slightly different when the holder of the incense is an erithi.

2025 Update Info

The erithi incense has been updated to use "stay-put" mechanics.  Please analyze your incense to get it all updated!  Now, you must use PLACE to set it down.  It will be safe from others and the janitor for 4 hours (indefinitely if used in your private property -- NOT premium properties).  If you wish to put it ON an object, NUDGE INCENSE AT (object) to us the stay-put functionality.

Privat Property Owners:  You can permanently place this by using PLACE (or NUDGE) and then TURNing the incense.
