The Broken Hammer
A carpenter walks up to you as you approach the Haunted Pantry, and says "Hey, man. My hammer broke. Could you maybe use some Wizardry or something, and fix it for me?"
"Percusso Reparum," you incant, and the hammer once broken is forged anew. Damn, you're good at Magic.
| You gain 2 Enchantedness. |
Occurred at The Haunted Pantry (Retired).
References
- The magic words you speak are reminiscent of the pseudo-Latin incantations used in the Harry Potter series, such as "Rigor Mortus".
- The part about the reforging of the hammer is a reference to The Lord of the Rings, where the elves create Anduril, forged from the shards of Narsil (the blade which killed Sauron). They give this to the protagonist, Aragorn, to wield. Almost every time it is mentioned, they say "The sword which was broken is forged anew."
- Alternately, it may be a reference to the incident in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when Hermione repairs Harry's glasses by saying "Oculus reparo."
- Percusso Reparum may be a play on the term percussive maintenance, in which a device is fixed by hitting it. A hammer is often used for this task.
