* Magical spinal surgery is '''dangerous'''. Tuners need to be {{tt|SHAPE}}d to the person that will implant them ({{tt|SHAPE TUNER TO ARMIFER}}, for example). This can be done by yourself or with the help of another. This is an extremely hard [[First Aid skill]] check, and made even harder if you're doing it yourself. [[Empath]]s using a [[Empath healing|diagnostic link]] and [[Necromancer]]s using the [[Butcher's Eye]] spell can mitigate this difficulty somewhat, but still you want to find an expert in the field. |

* You can {{tt|STUDY}} the tuner after it has been shaped to get an accurate idea of how the surgery will go. This is very wise, since "death" and "failure to implant" are possible outcomes. |
|||
* There are four possible surgery outcomes: |
|||
*# Death + failure to implant (and the implant hits the ground). |
|||
*# Death + successful implant |
|||
*# Severe bleeders + successful implant |
|||
*# Moderate bleeders + successful implant |
|||
* The [[First Aid skill]] of the person getting the implant doesn't matter, it's entirely on the person who {{tt|SHAPE}}s it. The only requirement on the implanter's side is they need a modest amount of [[Arcana skill]] to do it at all. |
|||
* The tuner is not destroyed if you successfully or fail to implant, but may drop on the ground on failures. |
|||
* You must implant your own mana tuner. Another player may only {{tt|SHAPE}} it for you. |

>STUDY my electrum tuner
You carefully study a scintillating electrum tuner.
This appears to be a magic tuner, a device which can be used to artifically perceive mana streams regardless of type or presence of Attunement. While it is impossible to manipulate mana through them, it is possible to get an accurate gauge of the quality of mana in a region (or time, for Lunar mana) using it.
There is one rather unpleasent twist these are not hand-held devices. Instead, the tuner must be implanted in the spinal cord of the recipient to function. If successfully implanted, the tuner may then be invoked at any time to gauge the frequency it is tuned to.
This particular tuner has not been prepared for surgery. It must be shaped, preferably by someone other than the recipient, to prepare it for implantation. You realize that a diagnostic link with the intended recipient would help you with the shaping process.
>FOCUS my electrum tuner
You focus your magical senses on a scintillating electrum tuner.
You sense a definite Life pattern imbued within the tuner.
In addition to Life energy, the tuner is imbued with Elemental energy. A complex Analogous Pattern has been used to prevent the magics from directly interacting.
The pattern is at full power.
The functionality of the tuner is not readily apparent and may bear closer studying.
Allows the user to perceive elemental mana via INVOKE. See mana tuners for additional details, including implanting and unlocks.
