So a friend came to me asking if I would help her create an item she could have altered. I told her sure, but she didn't know and I haven't a clue. Like how many characters can the item be? How many characters can the item look be, How many characters can the random atmosphere lines be? Are there limitations to what the lines can be? Can I have the item flutter and fly around her and land? or sprout a flower and decay? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

From Premium 11 4:
>What is an EZAtmo'd item?
An EZAtmo'd item makes use of the ATMOSPHeric verb. Similar to snake charms or forehead jewelry, the messages you add to your item wil be randomly displayed to yourself and to the room. Note that the room message is seen whether you're hidden or not, so don't include your name in the room messaging.
>The LTB option allows you to add 3 sets of messaging to a single item. The same rules as EZScripted items apply -- keep the texts short and reasonable, come prepared and the GM working on it has the ultimate final word in the design.
>Additionally, take care to avoid making living toys. Snake charms are an example of what NOT to do with your item, but are a good example of the randomly firing messaging that defines what an EZAtmo is. Focus your messages on things like light glinting off your item or the wind causing it to flutter, rather than "Jimmy's mechanical sparrow trills out a lovely melody as it zooms around his head."
Hope that helps
