Scrying Stone Tweak

Scrying Stone Tweak

I would like to preface this with saying that this has nothing to do with the recent news update, just putting it out there now.

Anyway, my suggestion is pretty quick and simple: put an indicator on the pup images generated in the scry stone that shows the pup is mutated. This could be as simple as putting the little genetic and random symbols that appear on wolf pages next to the scry generated pup.

Adding a simple feature like this would help users to determine if their generated sample pup is mutated, which in turn can help people determine if their wolves are carriers using the scry method - particularly, this would be helpful in the case of melanism due to the very slight almost unnoticeable differences between a melan pup and a pup who simply has no markings and black base/skin/nose/claws. Here is an helpful image that shows just how hard it can be to tell the difference between the two.

This would also help people to realize that the random non-brachy lethal that they rolled on their scry is simply a random chance appearance and is not in anyway genetic so long as the symbol has the same hover text as it does on wolf pages. 

Now, I know we are not allowed to use scry results to advertise wolves as confirmed carriers, and this would not in any way change that. I just think this would be a nice addition for people who scry wolves for their own personal projects, either intentionally looking for mutation carriers or those who "accidentally" find a potential melan/albi/whatever mutation during their otherwise unrelated scrying.

Support. I've seen people set studs or sell wolves as carriers when they weren't because they look so similar to melanism. Also seen people dump more money into it just to fact check their scry really was mutated.


Also also seen people get random mutations in scry and assume they're genetic so it'd be nice if the indicator was maybe the ones you find on the wolf page and said whether it was random or genetic

Because why not, I'm gonna mock this up! Wait a sec :3

EDIT: Here it is! The only positive scry I had screenshotted was albino, but I think it carries the point across. I was thinking when you hover over it, a thing can come up that says "This scried pup has the mutation [mutation here]!"
