Won this on a tier 5 on ebons. Thinking about keeping it but to be honest I'm not a fluff guy. This thing can be used to alter most anything. I've used it on weapons, armor, shields, containers. It uses a gem .. put some cheapo's in there and it worked. Also .. can't use it to copy a player. It's permanent also.

You analyze your brass wand and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions.

The creator has also provided the following information:
You carefully analyze your brass wand and sense that there are no alteration restrictions other than common sense. And it must be some kind of wand/rod or other item that makes sense to be waved. SHOWs are allowed.

To use the wand, hold the item to be changed in hand and WAVE the brass wand at the item to be used as the source of the design. The item in hand will be altered using this format:
"[an item] embellished with [a source item] design"
"Embellished" can change to other terms, depending on the material of the item being altered.
The source item can be anything (with some restrictions) that can be targeted with the brass wand except players.
You also sense that the brass wand, though magical, does not uses charges. Instead it requires a gem for power each time it is used.


You can tell that the wand is as light as it can get and that its pockets could not possibly get any deeper.

Here are a couple of examples

ornate brass wand

You remove a cats-eye moonstone from in your troll hide bag.
You put a cats-eye moonstone in your brass wand.


The street ends here at the canyon wall, which towers over your head. Set into its base, you see a gleaming mithril gate. Two dwarven guards clad in gleaming mithril armor stand at attention, their eyes fixed straight before them.
Obvious paths: west

You drop a tarnished golvern battle axe.

You remove a metal breastplate from in your black leather backpack.
>wave wand at axe
You are about to change a metal breastplate to a metal breastplate etched with a tarnished golvern battle axe design. If that's to your liking, wave your brass wand at a tarnished golvern battle axe again within the next 30 seconds.

You wave your brass wand at a tarnished golvern battle axe. There's a slight distortion in the appearance of the metal breastplate you're holding, which promptly fades, and now you hold in your hand a metal breastplate etched with a tarnished golvern battle axe design. the moonstone in your wand was consumed in the process.
You wave your brass wand at a tarnished golvern battle axe.

You tuck the brass wand into a small inner pocket inside of your Wsalamir cloak.

You glance down to see nothing in your right hand and a metal breastplate etched with a tarnished golvern battle axe design in your left hand.

>wave wand at troll
You are about to change a miner's pack to a miner's pack embellished with a jungle troll design. If that's to your liking, wave your brass wand at a jungle troll again within the next 30 seconds.

OH MY GOD. WHO HAS THE GOAT TOTING TOTES ALTER?!

You see Fleurs.

She is wearing 147 items embellished with goats toting totes!!

Sending a PM because this seems like a hilarious item. A bit plain on the alter mechanic, but frankly, it looks like fun! Great item!

I've had some people asking about this .. honestly I have no idea what it's worth. But I'm going to put it up starting with the minimum I'd sell it for. Since there is some alter type box which only uses gems selling for 10mil I'll start there.

...the only reason I've wanted to reactivate for GS in like a year is to make items embellished with a kitten fetish design.
