Analysis

Locked

You analyze your veniom-chained monocle and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:
The monocle is currently locked.
The monocle must remain a monocle.  The monocle cannot have a long or a show.
The monocle can be worn and turned.  Wearers of the monocle will be able to glimpse through the eyes of the one whom the eye was parted from.

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


Unlocked

You analyze your silver monocle and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:
The monocle has been unlocked.
The monocle must remain a monocle.  The monocle cannot have a long or a show.
The monocle can be worn, turned, pulled, and read.  Wearers of the monocle will be able to glimpse through the eyes of the one whom the eye was parted from.
Wearers of the monocle will also find that should they come upon foreign tracts of text, the magic in the eye residing in their monocle will delve into the waking mind of its donor to provide a translation.  This particular magic only works if the one who donated the eye is currently awake and present in the world.

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