In the theme of some other posts,

I'd love to see a way to have alterations include a self-converting language.

In other words, to those with the proper language, the alteration shows

<<....etched with the words, "DIE NOW!"

while those without would see

<<... etched with Toggish words.

Without having any idea about the game code, I'd imagine it would be possible. For example, there's a shadowy evil creatures that have their appearance change to match the viewer's race (not "your race" but "s'kra mur/gor'tog/halfling/etc.")

If I had to do it, I'd actually alter the LOOK verb to catch HTML-like tags so that the altering GM could include them easily.

That's just me.
