As is typical of most Midgaard commands, Glare searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "glare box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "glare 2.box" for the latter.

Glare can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Glare does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Glare displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "glare challengingly", "glare nearsightedly,", and so on. You can also "glare 18373649" or "glare toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
