Shakestick

The Shakestick is an Artifact available in Part One of Golden Treasure: The Great Green. It is obtained by stealing it from the No-Tails during the Claypit Dig Site event. It is frequently useful at treasure events, where it may be used to dislodge gems from stone as a hidden option, but it can also be used during combat.

It was created by the Delvers, used by them for the same purposes as Spiritkeeper.

Description
"This long forked tooth is made of shinestone, or something very like it. It is laced with copper-scented veins, and some parts move very slightly when pressed. Sometimes, it makes your teeth ache within your jaw when you touch it."

Researched Description
"In fact, this powerful item was created by the Delvers. It uses their unique magic, which somehow uses sound, to literally shake apart solid objects, allowing them to separate valuable resources from the surrounding rock. It can also be used as a makeshift weapon when pointed at one's foe and activated, perhaps even able to affect Subtle Beings. Be aware that it has only a certain amount of Essence (of a sort) left within it, and when depleted, will become useless.

It is worth 100 pieces of Treasure to most other sentient beings if undepleted and 20 if depleted. To the Delvers, it is worth double that."

Usage
The Shakestick is useful at a number of events across Part One and Part Two, typically serving as an alternative to an elemental check, or simply as a way to maximize the gain of Shiny Things.
