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."

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.
