For the life of me I can't think of an IC reason why this pouch can't be removed:

Thank you.

I am such a newb.

I'll never be able to show my face in this forum again!

(really think there ought to be some prompt about it being cursed though since nothing showed up on my 'identify')

(Though it will teach me for my curiosity by trying to wear it in the first place!)

I believe it would show up with Detect Magic and Detect Aura AND identify.

It'd be both magical and dark-aura with nothing special in the identify.

Though you wouldn't be able to tell this way for any other item if there were anything else in the identify.

If it were dark aura, it would have zapped the character.

Not necessarily. Seems that aura'd items do have a degree of aura. If you keep detect aura up a lot, you should notice some lighties equipped with dark pieces. Like the hematite rings/bracelets, I believe lighties can use them, for example. Would need to confirm that though... don't currently have any lighties :oops:

You are correct. It isn't the aura that determines whether or not it will zap someone of a different aura. It is whether or not the item has the zap flag AND aura that determines it. I had a lightie that tried to pick up a gray aura'd item, but got zapped because it had the zap flag AND it was gray aura'd, not just because it was gray aura'd.

P.S. Fading an item, iirc, actually removes the zap flag.

If they're faded, they can be worn by light aura characters.

That's what I said. It removes the zap flag. It doesn't change the aura of the item, ya know.
