As is typical of most Midgaard commands, Nuzzle 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 "nuzzle box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "nuzzle 2.box" for the latter.

Nuzzle 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 Nuzzle does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Nuzzle displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "nuzzle enthusiastically", "nuzzle sarcastically,", and so on. You can also "nuzzle 18373649" or "nuzzle toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
