Description

a twining zydris runestaff with an intricate illthorn inlay: Wrapping around itself in a chaotic spiral, the erratically curved zydris is veined with twists of illthorn that crawl up the length of the staff in a detailed ivy-patterned marquetry. A hollow wooden sphere carved in an infinity knot pattern serves as the staff's cap. Encircling the base of the sphere is a braided leather chain entwined with soft gray feathers. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph. A strange necrotic haze radiates from the runestaff.

SCRIPT DETAILS

The runestaff has a mechanical (combat) script which provides three basic types of functionality that can be broken down into the following categories:

AFFINITY - A special, custom 'bonding' like mechanism. Any given item can share an Affinity with only one person at a time. Affinity is gained by wielding the item and landing successful hits against like level foes.

BACKLASH - Potential negative effects, including immobilization, stuns, and nervous system damage, that can occur at random. As the wielder's Affinity with the item grows, the chance of a Backlash occurring are reduced.

FLARES - Off-the-Shelf, this item comes with a 'Muscle Memory' flare that, when triggered, will temporarily enhance the wielder's Combat Maneuver Ranks. The magnitude of the enhancement is based on the degree of Affinity shared with the wielder, while the frequency of the flare is determined by the item's tier.

Unlocked items also possess the potential for an offensive 'Misery Unleashed' flare. This flare can ONLY be triggered when the item is wielded against like level foes by someone with whom a COMPLETE Affinity is shared.

ITEM DETAILS

This is a tiered item that is currently Tier 4 of 4, which results in a 35% chance for the Muscle Memory flare to trigger when used against like level foes. It also has the following verbs available: CLENCH, TOUCH, STARE, LISTEN, and BERSERK.

The twining zydris runestaff shares a complete Affinity with you! This will result in a bonus of 10 to Combat Maneuver Ranks being applied when the Muscle Memory flare is successfully triggered.

ALTERATION GUIDELINES

This twining zydris runestaff may be freely altered by any merchant who is comfortable doing so, with the following caveat: The runestaff was formed of special saplings that were trained to grow around one another. In order to reflect this, it should always contain the word 'twisted', 'braided', 'helical', or something similiar in its TAP description.

You can tell that the runestaff is as light as it can get.

The runestaff has Custom Flare messaging that is valid for ANY flare type:
1st person: With a loud cracking noise, tiny eggs spill forth from your [ITEM] onto the [floor/ground] and erupt, birthing miniature roltons that begin to gnash viciously at [TARGET] with their curved incisors before disappearing!
3rd person: With a loud cracking noise, tiny eggs spill forth from [ATTACKER's] [ITEM] onto the [floor/ground] and erupt, birthing miniature roltons that begin to gnash viciously at [TARGET] with their curved incisors before disappearing!
Target: With a loud cracking noise, tiny eggs spill forth from [ATTACKER's] [ITEM] onto the [floor/ground] and erupt, birthing miniature roltons that begin to gnash viciously at you with their curved incisors before disappearing!
