Analyze

You analyze your leather tome and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

************************
This tome is one of the Book Buddies!  It currently has FLAMINGO style messaging.

Your Book Buddy can be animated using TOUCH.  When it is animated, use SNAP to have it land on a bookstand alongside you.  (moves to inventory alongside).  SNAP again to animate it then TOUCH to return it to normal form.  When animated you can PROD it to toggle ambient messaging on or off.

Any merchant who is comfortable handling your Book Buddy is free to do regular base and long alterations. It can be a book, tome, grimoire, magnum opus, opus, volume, manual, textbook, booklet, codex, compendium, lexicon, folio, or enchiridion.

Only a special EG merchant can make changes to custom fields 1 - 5.  They must make sense for the style.  The current custom settings are:

  1 = "long legs"  -  Limbs. wings/legs/arms etc.
  2 = "marches"  -  Movement. moves/flies/walks etc.
  3 = "a bookstand"  -  Bookstand. Full 15/15/15.
  4 = "pages"  -  Pages. Can have an adjective. Must be some sort of paper, vellum, etc.
  5 = "marching"  -  Movement ending in -ing. moving/flying/running etc.

************************

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