SOLD!!! I don't like drawn out auctions so I took BW's offer.
My water heater broke!!!
You glance down to see a spatulate sigil-carved scepter in your right hand and nothing in your left hand.
>l my sce
Wrought from golden imflass, the head of the scepter is shaped into a wide spatula. Hewn from orase the hue of fine flour, the scepter's dense grain whorls are carved with sigils spiraling in a helix from head to haft, where they briefly disappear beneath a buttery-soft grip of siren lizard leather. Continuing downwards, the spiral almost mimics syrup running in a drippy flow as it follows the helix to a heavy cap cunningly chiseled from a chunk of crystal into the shape of a tall stack of flapjacks. You notice 2 sigils more pronounced than the others along the scepter: a brightly glowing sigil with bands of concentric geometry and a sigil emitting syrup amber sparks that shimmer in and out of existence. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the scepter. A strong aura of holy light radiates from the scepter.

You analyze the sigil-carved scepter and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
This is a tier 5 Sigil Staff.
Tier
1: a standard scepter with some special messaging
2: has dispel flares up to 1 spell and allows spells to be TRANSFERred from scrolls onto itself, number of spells the scepter can hold are unlocked separately (up to 6 spells), currently holds 1 spells
3: dispel flares include up to 2 spells and cause disruption damage if no spells are active, can be WAVEd at a target to dispel 1-3 spells (requires 500 mana to have been spent casting spells to fuel the ability and has a 5 minute cooldown), and adds special LOOK messaging
4: dispel flares include up to 3 spells, can be RAISEd to lower the mana cost of all spells by 50% for 30 seconds or 10 casts (requires 5000 mana to have been spent casting spells to fuel the ability and has a 60 minute cooldown), and adds ambient messaging
5: unlocks the ability for the scepter to multi-cast (repeat the last cast spell) as a standard flare
Unlocked verbs: draw, hug, invoke, point, prod, read, spin, transfer, touch, wave
Alteration Guidelines:
The scepter itself can have its base (15/15/15) description altered and can support a long and/or show description as well. All standard alteration rules apply.
Effects:
The scepter can have the color or quality of its sigils and magic effects customized with a descriptive word or phrase. Various messaging will include this custom setting.
The current setting is: syrup amber
Messaging using this custom setting must make sense in the following context examples:
a/an [adjective] sigil
[adjective] energy/sparks/tendrils/haze
Customization should remain simple, nothing so complex as to require a comma. When in doubt, use a distinct color.
Examples of functional customization choices: pale, dark, bright, shadowy, fiery, blue-green, coruscating violet, silver and gold
Examples of nonfunctional customization choices: shapes, anything that is not an adjective, anything lengthy enough to require a comma for grammatical purposes
Try to keep it to three words or less, and if three words, see prior rules. ('silver and gold' works, 'red, blue, and green' does not because of sentence structures, 'incandescent viridian and gold-speckled cerulean' is long enough to be cumbersome)
Runes:
The random runes that are displayed when the scepter is spun can also be customized to any list of words.
The current setting is: luck,sunburst,celestial,forest,glacier,will-o-wisp,fire,water,earth,air,lorae'tyr,shien'tyr,grik 'tyr
You can tell that the scepter is as light as it can get.
It imparts a bonus of +35 more than usual.
It allows a caster to occasionally focus their magical prowess (+30 AS/+18 CS) for a single cast.
It appears to weigh about 2 pounds.
It is estimated to be worth about 1,000,000,000 silvers.
It is predominantly crafted of orase.
It has been ensorcelled 5 times.
It has been sanctified 5 times. It has permanent Holy Fire flares.
It may be enchanted up to a bonus of 35 by a wizard and was last enchanted by Morvik.
It is a formidable project (811 difficulty) for an adventurer to modify.
It has some unknown (scripted) benefit.
It has a permanently unlocked loresong by Beauxregard.
How much does this cost OTS, you ask? 441k BS my good person! Then it's got the enchant and ensorcell and sanct added, and GOOD LORD that gorgeous alter is worth two billion alone! And the energy color is custom, woah-oh! Really all it needs is a transmute.
Sold to Buckwheet for buyout
