** Summary for Auction #16 *********************************************
Title: (Days until closing: 114)
Pearl Ring
Prize:
a serene pearl ring
Current bid:
400 credits.
Description:
While wearing this ring, you will automatically avoid being
carried away by currents.
************************************************************************


What exactly does this effect?
-Water Planes currents
-Aquamancer demesne currents
-Water Plane Flux currents
-All of the above?

Please clarify.

Aha, I realize how this might be unclear.

By currents, we mean non-demesne/flux currents you may encounter while swimming about the Water Plane, Inner Sea, Sea of Despair, etc. It does not affect flux or Aquamancy Currents in any way. It will make it easier for you to walk around watery places that have waves, though.

Similarly, the Bloodstone Ring that avoids earthquakes will not affect Geomancy, just navigation in places with natural earthquakes (Earth Plane).

An aspect of the other IRE auctions that I liked that should be implemented here in our next auction: normal artifacts auctioned for gold as 1-ofs. Nothing like a Cubix, mind, but Pyramids, Prisms, maybe some elemental runes...

I bet that would drive credit prices down.

(That would be the point. )

A question about the Astral boots, is it a random jump to any of three spheres adjacent of the one you are on, or is it more like, you choose which one to go to, or does it just make it that you can go through the exit/entries always?

You go to the room that would exit normally and use a special verb for the boots. You'll jump away to the corresponding sphere!

Because I'm sure some people are curious.

Astral Boots.

Crafted from a series of bizarre materials, these boots are quite the sight to behold. Thin strips of gleaming blue steel have been meticulously worked around each boot to protect both the toe and heel. Tattered, white cloth stained red, bits of tattered parchment and black feathers have been impossibly sewn together to form the durable body of each boot. Long, purple strands of hair-like material have been laced up the front of each boot for a snug fit. The very top of each boot is encircled with high quality fabric with bits of, what appear to be, feline hair.
It weighs about 1 pounds and 14 ounce(s).

Boots of Ungulate Circumambulation (okay, they're not really called that, they just should be):

These boots are made from cowhide, tanned to a smooth leather yet retaining its natural colour of with large black splotches. The boots are tapered to a point and capped with a silver filigreed tip. On the high heels are attached silver spurs that sparkle and merrily jingle and jangle. Amazingly, the boots dance of their own volition, animated by some mischievous magic. Any who wear these boots tend to occasionally dance about in impromptu jigs.
It weighs 4 ounce(s).

But I'm going to customize mine.
