A dragonmist necklace is jewelry item that will morph between a necklace, earring, brooch, and ring with a TAP. Each tap, however, brings with it a chance that the item will shatter.

The four items are:

  • a sigil-etched dragonmist necklace
Each platinum link is finely crafted and easily interlocked with the one adjacent to itself. A tiny platinum loop is attached to the end of one string of platinum links while the other string has a miniature clasp formed from pure gold. The opposite end of the silver links disappears into the vaalin base metal, which is carefully resting on top of a circular band. The dragonmist crystal fills the center of the circular ring perfectly.
  • a delicate dragonmist earring
The two strips of segmented metal entwine one another with perfect symmetry. A small linking clasp secures the dragonmist crystal to the base of the delicate metal. A tiny hook of pure gold protrudes out from the tip of one of the twined metal strips serving as the fastener between the earlobe and earring.
  • a dainty dragonmist brooch
The dragonmist crystal is held in place by an ornately carved web of twisting metal extending from the base. The vaalin baseplate is cut into an octangular shape with each of the eight points capped in silver. A thin metal backbone spans the width of the brooch allowing it to be easily fastened.
  • an intricate dragonmist ring
The vaalin-backed dragonmist crystal is expertly inset onto the rim of the ring. The metallic bands extending from the base vaalin are broken up into tiny segments, decreasing slightly in width as they loop out and link up together. The segmentation enables each link to recede back into another.

Analyze

You analyze your dragonmist necklace and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This dragonmist necklace is a piece of morphing jewelry that will change where it is worn when TAPped.  The necklace is NOT permanent and has a random chance of shattering.

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

Usage

Verb Style First Third
TAP To earring Tiny slits open along the base metal and the unclasped fine platinum links start feeding themselves back into the base. The dragonmist crystal then flips itself back over the rim of the circular band and firmly attaches itself in place. The two segmented metal strips unlink, then begin to twine themselves very carefully around one another. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it. XXX's dragonmist necklace begins to twist and turn and finally settles down into an earring. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it.
TAP To brooch The twisted metal strips untwine themselves and completely recede into the base metal. The dragonmist crystal spins as the thin metal backbone slides back under it, forming an octangular shape with each of the eight points capped in silver. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it. XXX's dragonmist earring begins to twist and turn and finally settles down into a brooch. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it.
TAP To ring The dragonmist crystal slides inward along with the extended metal plate while the twisting metal prongs slowly recede back into the baseplate. Once the metal backbone has receded completly into the main plate, two small, segmented metal strips begin to extend outward from the base, looping toward one another. Finally, the two pieces of segmented metal link up forming a perfectly symmetrical and circular ring. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it. XXX's dragonmist brooch begins to twist and turn and finally settles down into a ring. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it.
TAP To necklace The four small prongs spring up from the base plate elevating the ring an inch off of your palm. The dragonmist crystal carefully moves from the rim of the ring to the center of the circular metal strips sealing off the hole where your finger used to go. Tiny slits open along the base metal and platinum links begin to slide slowly out forming the rope of the necklace. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it. XXX's dragonmist ring begins to twist and turn and finally settles down into a necklace. As it does so, small squeaking noises are emitted from it.

Loresong

Loresong
As you sing, you sense resonant vibrations coming from the ring, matching pitch with yours. Soon a harmony is achieved, and a brilliant display begins to materialize before you...

A tinker gnome sits hunched over a workbench with the sharp pinging of metal on metal echoing around the workshop. Suddenly, a soft melody drifts in:

"Wonders so fine,

wonders all mine,
I wonder what my hubby has for me this time."

Upon hearing the tune, the gnome male sighs softly and turns away from his work and waits for the door to his workshop to open. It appears as if time has worn the tinker gnome down, but his eyes seem to reveal a much younger age.

Once again you harmonize with the ring and beckon it to continue with the display...

The door to the workshop swings open and a female gnome saunters in. "Geodd, what fancies did you purchase for me this morn while at the market?" questions the lady gnome. "I have a splendid diamond ring for thee," Geodd replies while handing the ring to his wife. The gnome lady beams with delight, takes the ring, and scurries out of the workshop. Upon his wife's departure, Geodd spins back around on his stool and goes back to work. While Goedd continues to work, the sun in the window slowly sinks into the horizon.

You continue your melody with the ring and the image returns...

The familiar pinging echoes throughout the shop as Geodd contines his work. A cheerful whistling begins to contrast with the pinging metal and soon Geodd stops working. Geodd sighs knowingly and once again turns around on his stool waiting for the door to swing open. The door swings open again and there stands Geodd's wife again with the diamond ring in her hand. "The ring is dull, it has served its use, what do ye have for me now?" asks the wife. "I have this lovely silver rope necklace for you my dear. Its beauty almost comparable to thee." The gnome lady beams with delight, snatches the necklace and skips out of the shop. Geodd shakes his head and returns to his work.

As you continue your song, the image flickers back into your mind...

Geodd still appears to be working on his project when a whistling melody once again interrupts him. Soon, the doorway is once again occupied by his wife with the silver necklace in hand. "Geodd, the necklace is tarnished, what else do ye have for me?" sighs the wife questioningly. "This gold ruby-inlaid tiara should be the perfect compliment to such a lovely head," replies Geodd. The wife beams a smile, takes the tiara and scurries out the door.

Geodd springs from his stool and rushes over to the door, latching it shut. Geodd then pulls a rolled up parchment from out of his cloak and mutters to himself, "Day after day, week and week, this will obviously never end. . . time to put my plan into action."

As you continue singing, the scene shifts...

Geodd's wife strolls up to the door and fiddles with the handle, but it does not open. "Geodd!" screeches the wife, "why is the door latched, let me in!" The gnome lady proceeds to beat and beat and beat on the door with her tiny fists. This carries on for quite some time until finally the door swings open. Without uttering a word, Geodd holds out his hand and the wife promptly puts the tiara in it. Geodd then hands his wife a gem set onto a metal backing. Geodd's wife blinks at the trinket in amazement and asks, "What is this?" "Tap it and you shall never be bored with your jewelry ever again," Geodd replies.

Your breath becomes labored as you try to coax yet more out of the ring...

Geodd's wife taps the trinket in her hand once and much to her surprise and delight the trinket shifts into a piece of jewelry. Fascinated by this new wonderment, Geodd's wife begins to tap the trinket at a frantic pace and watches as it continues to shift into new pieces. Geodd cries out, "No, no, hon wait! No so fast! It will break . . ." However, his wife continues to tap the trinket faster and faster until finally . . . *SNAP* the trinket shatters into tiny fragments. Geodd lets out a long, soft sigh as his wife begins to berate him for something new...
