A slight ripple crosses your vision as the moon unit slowly and subtly changes the past. You feel your personality change almost completely as the moon unit disappears in a puff of causality.

Notes

• As previously stated, this item was obtained via a KMail from Jick, along with the following message:

Hello there!

What with Corman's massive Bone Star destroying Valhalla and throwing the moons out of whack, you might have ended up with a Moon Sign that isn't appropriate for your class, or your playstyle or whatever.

This machine will let you change your sign. It only works once, so don't screw it up!

Kisses and rainbows,

Your Pal Jick
