Strongbox Identity Crisis

(Shard, Ilithi: 344 Dolefaren 352)

I had just finished hunting rock trolls up in Shard one fine afternoon, and met up with a friend of a friend of mine. She was going to help me disarm some boxes, and I pulled out my strongbox, and prepared to hoist it into the air in order for her to see my find. When I did, it mysteriously became a piece of black flint, which I was apparently waving around wildly. So I took it back, tapped it, dropped it, rubbed it, even gave it to someone else, but it reacted as a normal strongbox. However, every time someone tried to wave it around, it became the strange piece of black flint.
 
I even called upon the powers of the Great Mages, who said, and I quote, "This is bizzare!"
 
Just goes to show, you don’t know what you’re dealing with until you wave it in someone else’s face.
