As noted, this shell armor doesn't fit my needs, so hopefully can go along to someone that can put it to use. Going to put as much detail as I can below. Questions, please ask.

You tap some swirled abalone shell armor that you are wearing.
Background - originally sold in 2006 (https://gswiki.play.net/Shell_armor), its been worked on over time but still is good for updates. Transmutes and whatnot now work with the armor. Difficulty is extremely low. Works great in the field as a way to get out of a tough spot and can heal up with herbs. Does not look like you can cast in the private room. Looks like you can leave items on the ground in the shell for the short term as well. Happy to test where I can as needed.
Analyze
You analyze your abalone shell armor and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Welcome to Shell Armor! If you ever need to hide, you may want to try TURNing the knob. Not all areas allow such magical transportation, but if they do, you could get a brief reprieve.
Your abalone shell armor is currently unable to be altered in appearance. However, it is eligible for transmutations at Duskruin Arena as of 2023. The actual look will not change and the material selected must work for the armor type.
You can tell that the armor is as light as it can get.
Inspect
You carefully inspect your abalone shell armor.
Your careful inspection of some swirled abalone shell armor allows you to conclude that it is leather armor that covers the torso, arms, legs, neck, and head.
You determine that you could wear the armor around your chest. The armor appears to serve some purpose.
It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of leather.
Recall
It imparts a bonus of +35 more than usual.
It appears to weigh about 8 pounds.
It is estimated to be worth about 11,700,000 silvers.
It is fairly padded against critical blows.
It is predominantly crafted of leather.
It has been ensorcelled 2 times.
It may be enchanted up to a bonus of 35 by a wizard and was last enchanted by Daeffodill.
It is an involved project (280 difficulty) for an adventurer to modify.
It has some unknown (scripted) benefit.
It has a temporarily unlocked loresong by Ekui for 9 hours and 1 minute.

[Old Ta'Faendryl, North Valley - ] (u9061907)
The low ridge of ancient stonework meets up with the higher exterior wall of the city. An apple orchard gone wild has spread its territory, sapling by sapling, far beyond its original enclosure. The hardy trees now spread their branches in glorious victory over the toppled homes of their ancient ancestor's masters. You also see a twisted crystal-tipped staff, a heavy steel maul and a large swirled abalone shell.
Obvious paths: east, south
>turn knob
A loud clicking noise starts and suddenly the shell splits and spits you out.
