			\|amendthing[''targ'',''str'']
			\|(Right, String) Modifies the name or description of the thing henceforth for the current actor. Once amended, all subsequent references to the thing will return the new contents. This includes the details shown within chooser tables that display things for selection by the user. The ''targ'' parameter must be either "name" or "description", specifying which facet of the thing is being amended. The new contents are given by the string expression ''str''. Always returns a value of zero.<br>
			Example: result = this.amendthing[name,"New Name"]<br>
			{{note}}The amendment is applied to the thing at the time of evaluation, so any access of the name or description on derived picks prior to the amendment will not show the effects of the amendment. All amendments persist until the start of the next evaluation cycle, at which time they are all reset.<br>
			{{note}}Each actor maintains its own set of amendments, so it is perfectly valid to have multiple different actors with different amendments to the same thing.

A "thing" context is very similar to a "pick" context, except that a "thing" context represents a thing that has not yet been added to a container and therefore lacks any dynamic state. As a result, the "thing" context is much more restrictive than the "pick" context. From within a "thing" context, you can utilize the following set of valid context transitions:

:{| class="infotable"
|class="leftnormal"|state
|Transitions to the [[State Context Transitions|state context]]. 
Example: this.state
|-
|hero
|Transitions to the [[Hero Context Transitions|hero context]] corresponding to the hero that the thing will be potentially added to. 
Example: this.hero
|-
|field[''id'']
|Transitions to the [[Field Context Transitions|field context]] corresponding to the field within the current thing that has the ''id'' specified. If the given field does not exist for the current thing, the transition fails to resolve. 
Example: this.field[myfield] 
{{note}}Within things and picks, there are a number of pre-defined pseudo-fields that are always defined and that allow access to facets of the pick that are not governed by user-defined fields. These pseudo-fields behave like normal fields in all respects within scripts, except that some are read-only. The list of pre-defined fields can be found elsewhere in the [[Kit Reference]] documentation.
|-
|linkage[''id'']
|Transitions to the [[Pick Context Transitions|pick context]] corresponding to the linkage with the ''id'' specified. If the linkage is not defined, an error is reported. 
Example: this.linkage[mylink]
|-
