Magic Marker

A Magic Marker is a tool used to mark some magic items found in the treasure system. They were first sold in the Bloodriven Village shop Make Your Mark. Magic markers come in two forms, burins/gravers which can engrave small designs, and paintbrushes that can add a dot of paint. For example, a golden wand would become "a golden wand marked with a dot of pink paint" or "a golden wand engraved with a tiny arc." Tier 1 Usage Verb Type First Third RUB gravers You touch your graver to the wand, glints of silvery blue crackling along its cutting face as you engrave a tiny diamond into the wand. Silvery blue glints crackle along the cutting face of <Character's> graver as <she/he> engraves <her/his> wand. SLAP both You slowly smack the handle of your oak and steel graver against your palm three times, so preoccupied with thoughts of magical esoterica that you barely register the sting. <Character> slowly smacks the handle of <her/his> oak and steel graver against <her/his> palm three times, an enigmatic expression on <her/his> face. TOUCH brushes You stroke the handle of your glowbark paintbrush with your thumb, enjoying the textural contrast between the grain of the wood and the cool metal of the ferrule. <Character> idly runs the side of <her/his> thumb along the length of the handle of <her/his> paintbrush. TOUCH gravers You test the sharpness of your graver's cutting face with a fingertip, drawing your hand back abruptly and giving a satisfied nod at the result. <Character> warily touches a fingertip to the cutting face of <her/his> graver, drawing it back abruptly before giving a satisfied nod. WAVE brushes You make a small mark in pink paint on the wand with your paintbrush, then blow lightly on it to dry it. <Character> makes a mark in pink paint on the wand with <her/his> paintbrush, then blows lightly on it to dry it. Tier 2 Analyze You analyze your oak and steel graver and sense that the creator has provided the following information: This graver is a tool to mark many kinds of magical loot you may find when hunting, specifically most* of the items that wizards can recharge. It will add a very simple mark to the end of the description of your magical items, respectively a small shape for engravers and a dab of colored paint for brushes. Use with caution as the marks may nullify the item's ability to be used with other scripted items. Test first! *There are some exclusions! If it doesn't make sense to be painted or engraved, it won't mark it. It also will not mark imbedded (420), holy receptacle (325), or imbued (614) items. This graver can be altered to have a long description or a show added, but the noun must remain the same. The show will always have a sentence appended to it describing the current setting of the tool, so keep that in mind when designing. Your oak and steel graver has been unlocked to Tier 2. This adds the ability to engrave an alternate shape. This graver is currently set to engrave a tiny diamond. The following verbs will work with the graver: RUB, SLAP, TOUCH, FLIP, EAT You get no sense of whether or not the graver may be further lightened. Usage Verb Type First Third EAT both You chew on the handle of your oak and steel graver, contemplating what to use it on next. <Character> chews on the handle of <her/his> oak and steel graver, looking contemplative. FLIP brushes With a quick flick of the wrist, you murmur a soft incantation, and a silvery blue haze engulfs the tip of your paintbrush. The paint coating the bristles shimmers briefly before turning green. With a quick flick of the wrist, <Character> murmurs a soft incantation, and a silvery blue haze engulfs the tip of her paintbrush. The paint coating the bristles shimmers briefly before turning green. FLIP gravers With a deft pivot of your wrist, you flip your graver in your hand, and a glimmer of golden green races around the glyphs encircling the disk inlaid into the handle as the shape engraved on it shimmers and changes to an arc. With a deft pivot of <her/his> wrist, <Character> flips <her/his> graver in <her/his> hand, and a glimmer of golden green races around the glyphs encircling the disk inlaid into the handle as the shape engraved on it shimmers and changes to an arc.

He turned. "Did you procure a suitable location for her?" the sylvan queried. "Yes. She seemed pleased with it, for the most part. There are only so many options available to rent in a backwater like Bloodriven, though, so she's overseeing some locals we hired to clean and do a little upkeep on the place," came the reply. A look of amusement twisted the mouth of the other man momentarily. "She has very specific requirements, it would seem." He continued, "I don't envy you the task of keeping her happy." The sylvan's expression remained impassive but the black-clad man thought he saw a twinkle in the glance shot his way before the studious mage wordlessly pushed his spectacles up and turned back to the table. He reached into a pocket and withdrew a ribbon-tied ebon velvet bag, and placed it on the surface. "Your compensation." The other man sauntered over and, with a movement so quick that an ill-timed blink would cause the viewer to miss it entirely, scooped up the bag and stashed it in his jacket before making his way to the exit. "You know where to find me when you have more work," he called over his shoulder. The mage turned back to his task, picked up a sharply honed burin with a rounded glowbark handle, and ran his thumb over the silver disk at its top, traveling slowly over the raised metal of the diamond shape that decorated it. His left hand reached for a small statue standing in neat formation with its numerous brethren on a nearby lectern, resting it on its side before touching the cutting face of the burin to its base and swiftly engraving a minute diamond upon it. The statue joined a phalanx of its now-identical kin on his worktable, which in turn stood next to a stack of aquamarine wands, each dotted with green paint, and a separate pile of blue crystals dotted with red. He turned the burin over in his hand, admiring its design, remarking to the empty room, "Her talents more than make up for her needs, my friend." See Also Saved posts
