A Skull ring is used to lock unscripted containers, bypassing Lock Mastery, and can be found on the Return to Black Swan Castle Prize List as a sapphire-eyed golden skull ring.

Analyze

You analyze your golden skull ring and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
This is a skull ring. It can be altered, but must remain a "skull ring" in the description. Part of the SHOW/LOOK description is static. It currently isn't attuned.

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