• After pushing the Change Moon Sign! button:

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

• Was given via kmail 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

• Attempting to zap this gives the message:

Don't be a dweezil.

• Attempting to click the Change Moon Sign! button before a zodiac sign has been chosen, gives this message:

I don't think so mister thinks he can pull a fast one.

• Attempting to click the Change Moon Sign! button in bad moon gives the message

You weren't supposed to get this in Bad Moon. Sorry.

• The slight ripple message displays even if you change your sign to the one you are already on.
