A scratched crystal ball MB: 250k CB: 250k shad0ws0ngs SOLD...



>look at ball
A perfectly round scratched and nicked crystal ball rests on a dented rusty steel base. Within the glass, shadows coalesce within, swirling in shades of black and greys and made even more obscure by the clouded, scratched surface. Motes of brilliant white light wink in and out of existence within the depths of the ball.




>analyze ball
You analyze your crystal ball and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item type should not change."

The creator has also provided the following information:
A scratched crystal ball must remain glass and stay some sort of sphere, orb, ball, or crystal ball.
The ball can be altered to have a unique long description only. It can also be engraved with an inscription.
Any of the bolded sections in the show description can be changed by a talented magical merchant:
A perfectly round scratched and nicked crystal ball rests on a dented rusty steel base. Within the glass, shadows coalesce within, swirling in shades of black and greys and made even more obscure by the clouded, scratched surface. Motes of brilliant white light wink in and out of existence within the depths of the ball.

This crystal ball has a custom fortune of "All is hidden in shadow."

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




>weigh ball
You carefully examine the crystal ball and determine that the weight is less than 2 pounds.
Roundtime: 5 sec.



Examples of the 4 verbs (shake, turn, nod, nod head at). (NOTE: I know there's a space missing in the TURN response. I have bugged this and will hopefully have it corrected before delivery.)




>shake ball
You shake your crystal ball vigorously! Within the scratched and nicked glass, shadows coalesce within, swirling in shades of black and greys and made even more obscure by the clouded, scratched surface. One by one, motes of brilliant white light blink into existence within the ball and begin to coalesce into recognizable shapes. The light pauses momentarily on the answer "No" before bursting into tiny brilliant white specks which quickly dissipate.
