Corn Maze Scroll Alteration Guidelines · on 12/24/2020 04:56	11418
Some of this information has been provided before, but we thought it would be helpful (for those of you who are still thinking about how to use your scroll) to provide some guidelines on what we will and will not do via Corn Maze scroll. Approved/Yes List Corn Maze scrolls may only be used for cosmetic alterations to the appearance (short/tap/look/read). Even if an item is on this list, we never change messaging, functionality, or configuration via scroll. Additionally, not all GMs who work on scrolls can work on every kind of item that the scroll system supports. Depending on how specialized your item is, it may require more time to process your scroll. As with all alterations, if you wish to add rare materials that are not already part of the item you're altering, you must provide an appropriate amount of that material before the scroll can be finalized. (Elanthipedia is a good starting point to check whether a material is rare, but we can't guarantee that a player-run resource is 100% accurate in all respects.) The GM who is handling your scroll will contact you (as the "Scarecrow") to collect rare materials. Item Notes noun changes for worn fluff at staff's discretion only; the new noun must be synonymous with the original noun and must make sense for the wear location anatomy compendiums LOOK will display the charts available after the examine anatomy textbooks LOOK will display the charts available after the examine cambrinth chipper weapons cosmetic changes to weapon only, and the chips must still make sense to the new weapon appearance (no changes to chips) clothing, jewelry, and other fluff containers (including ones that hold any X items) crafting tools epistemic journals (HE2017 gift) noun must remain some kind of journal, diary, or book EZAtmo/EZScript items (tap/look/read) no messaging changes flying brooms/carpets/miniature airships miniature airships must remain "miniature" in the tap food/booze wands no food changes gems that change color based on lighting conditions only items that already have the gem; adding the gem and its script to another item requires a live merchant glittery/perfumed clothing no change to messaging hairstyle jewelry home exterior decorations similar nouns only; no changing the type of home or other settings lockpick stackers no noun changes ritual foci no setting changes (mana type, activation time, etc.) sanowret crystals no lecture changes shimmer gowns tap must retain shimmer placeholder and new design must work for any existing messaging/settings shimmer scarves skill almanacs noun must remain some kind of book or text skinning/first aid trainers must remain something that could have leather skinned off of it; no sentient races TM foci toolbelts and toolstraps no noun or quantity changes weapon frogs short name, LOOK, and READ only (full tap changes automatically due to the item's mechanics); LOOK should have weapon frogs included weapons with food enchantments no food changes weapons, shields, and armor (including ones with flares) no noun changes; no removal of maker's marks Unapproved/No List Some of these items are on the list due to mechanical issues that might be incompatible with the scroll system. Other types of alterations are more complex or exclusive, so we are limiting them to live merchants. The fact that an item does not appear on the "no" list should not necessarily be construed as an indication that it can be altered via Corn Maze scroll.
