Dropped: Thrumming with a faint blue light, a crystalline salt staff lies here.
Examined: Measuring an impressive six feet in length, but only a few inches in width, this exceptionally large, cultivated salt crystal has been carefully selected for use as a staff. Its base begins in a rough and jagged edge, which quickly smooths to a flat hexagonal prism that defines the weapon's distinctly crystalline shape. The staff extends in straight segments interrupted by small irregular turns along its length, until blooming outward in a larger crown. The crown boasts a multitude of natural facets that bend any light passing through them, splaying it out in polychromatic hues across the room. Throughout the whole length, occasional thrums of deep blue energy pulse from the staff's core in a quiet, reverberating beat.
This isn't incorrect, technically speaking. The blue energy is kai energy, which keeps it bonded. We opted to not specifically name it as such, because people might not know kai energy in-game is blue, so they'd be pedantic and be, "How do we know it's kai just from looking at it?!"
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I managed to find my old description for my artie rapier figured I'd throw it out for review before I get it customized
Examined This rapier's silver metal shines with a blue hue, reflecting light across its surface in a beautiful, albeit menacing, glow. The blade has been hammered into a thin blade that tapers down into a wicked point, its double edges honed to a deadly sharp edge. Delicately etched upon the blade is a Siren in mid-dance, her slender limbs wrapped around her body as she twirls gracefully. Her long hair flows like a ribbon up the length of the blade. A silver wire-wrapped hilt merges into a guard fashioned to represent a stargazer lily. Each petal has been painstakingly wrought to curve gracefully around the wielder's fingers, protecting them from blows while adding grace and beauty to the blade. Three blue ribbons with tiny bells adorned at the ends have been loosely attached to the hilt so they flutter with breeze or movement, pealing soft music into the air. The heft and feel of this rapier is remarkable, perfectly suited for any blade dancer.
Almost as if people have different preferences in how they write things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Appearance: a crystalline polar bear cub
Dropped: A crystalline polar bear cub is chewing on something between his juvenile paws.
Examined: Thin, clear needles make up the voluminous fur that cushions this chubby creature's short limbs and plump belly. Fluffed and puffed out, the thick pelt makes the cub appear larger than he actually is underneath. Tapered ears crown the bear's head and a stubby tail on his rump wags back and forth incessantly, but his large, juvenile paws lend him a comically ungainly appearance. His small button nose twitches constantly on his muzzle, but it is his black, beady eyes that are the liveliest features of his frosty face.
Enter: A series of bobs and hops brings a crystalline polar bear cub in from the $DIR.
Leave: A crystalline polar bear cub bobs and hops away to the $DIR.
Death: A shattered crystalline bear cub lies here beside a chewed-up lump of dormium.
Appearance (short_desc)
Dropped: Serving as a horrifying reminder, a grotesque shield has been cast aside.
Examined: Glistening with fresh sanguine droplets, the unmistakable metallic scent of blood perpetually wafts from the face of this shield. Carmine steel comprises the base of this immense barrier, further enhancing the bloodied appearance that it's taken. Layering the front face of the shield, a vast array of severed bone fragments have been affixed, reinforcing the sturdy metal further; marrow and pieces of sinew still visible throughout. On the reverse side is a mithril-reinforced femur running through the centre, attached by steel links and serving as a means to attach to one's forearm in combat.
Short: a gold-flecked rapier of living water
Dropped: Stirring tumultuously, a rapier of living water lies here.
Long: Metal and liquid marry to create this deadly blade. Twined in rings of blue steel, the grip is heavier than would be expected of a light sword, telegraphing its need to serve as a ballast. The quillons are pitch, a spiraling guard of filigree adorning the hilt as it wraps around into an intricate knuckleblow. What first appears to be dark metal is instead a tendril of living water, the aqueous solution used to craft the filigree. Flecked with gold, the water undulates around a short fuller to form the blade itself. The liquescent edge ripples toward any incoming blow, the tumultuous ripple of life ceasing as the blade thins to near imperceptibility to accept the force. Gold flickers within the cerulean fluid, shifting with the tendril’s endless current. In contrast to the rest of the rapier, the pommel is polished silver. Engraved into it are two dragons lacquered gold and black, the dichotomous twins chasing each other endlessly.
Short: a flowing shield of water
Dropped: Dampening the ground, a shield of water lies here.
Long: The only metal of this shield is a small circular rondel made entirely of silver. Seated in the centre of the rondel is a sapphire, the facets seeming to shift like waves. The disc is attached to a vambrace of black leather, the armour intended to cover the arm from wrist to just below the elbow. Apart from the mundane the shield itself is an aqueous projection streaming from the sapphire. Roughly the size of a targe, the shield ripples and churns tumultuously, the water moving as if to anticipate an impact. When at rest, the water ripples toward undefined edges, ending in a noiseless crash of waves breaking at the land’s edge of the sea.
Short: pitch fingerless gloves of worn leather
Dropped: Forgotten, a pair of gloves lies here.
Long: It is obvious to even an untrained eye that these gloves have held together longer than the leather or thread should allow. Yet, despite the state of the wear, the pitch colour is still bold, dark enough that the gloves could have just been freshly dyed. Some hint to the longevity of the tailoring lies in the archaic runes threaded into the weave along the hands, the musk of earth occasionally wafting away from the runes as they pulse faintly with magic.
This last one is awaiting submission:
Short: An ebon hood
Dropped: A dark hood is here.
Examined: Silken and thin, this capacious hood envelops the head and shoulders. Despite its light fabric, no light penetrates the depths of the garment’s material, instead the silky threads seeming to absorb and extinguish light when cast upon it. When pulled upward, the inkiness swallows the features, casting a pall upon the face and neck, making the features little more than a well of impassable night.
(Yes this was from forever ago. I stopped playing and I'm playing catch up!)
Dropped: Like an osseous pool, a gruesome lash lies coiled here.
Examined: Comprised mostly of flayed and braided flesh, this lash extends just short of two feet in length when outstretched. Threaded at one end, a sturdy piece of bone is attached to the lash, carved into a claw to allow the tearing of flesh from victims. The gruesome makeshift leather has been treated and cured to be flexible, giving it dangerous speed and force for striking, or an impenetrable tool for garroting. Sinuously wrapping around the material, lengths of animal sinew keep small bone and metal chips in place, adding a vicious razor-like appearance to the grotesque weapon. At the base, the flesh is knotted to a piece of metal-reinforced bone, affording a firm grip to the wielder and preventing the entire piece from unraveling.
Appearance: a flesh-wrapped bone shield
Dropped: A large carcass resembling a shield has been tossed to the side.
Examined: Serving as the body of this immense shield, the ribcage of a large animal has been carefully removed from its carcass; spatterings of blood and muscle tissue still visible throughout. Adding strength to the barrier, a basketweave of cured and hardened flesh is threaded amongst the bones to create sturdy protection from weapons to the wielder, tied down by various pieces of sinew and catgut. Along the inside, more of the morbid strips are affixed to each of the ribs to allow the shield to be securely attached to one's arm in combat.
Appearance (short_desc) - mithril shackle of marriage
Dropped (long_desc) - A shackle of marriage made from mithril lies here, abandoned.
Examined (extended_desc) - Brilliantly polished mithril jingles with each step taken by the wearer of these shackles. Rather than the links and chains of old, this mithril is formed into two distinctive hands, latches on all five fingers opening and closing with a simple touch of a hidden button. One hand is slightly larger than the other, going around the calf of the wearer while the other has a tighter overall grip, going around the ankle. A solitary black orb is held in stasis inside a delicate metal cage, the black dense metal orb spinning rapidly when the hands are clasped around ankle and calf. Hidden in the palm of each hand is a sunburst etching, held tight against the skin when worn.
