You hold the violin gingerly on your thumb and play it with your forefinger, eliciting a shrieking, piercing note that does X damage. BONK! BONK! BAM!
You play "Flight of the Bumblebee" on your violin. A nearby swarm of bees flies over and stings <it> for X damage. KERBLAM! KERBLAM! KERBLAM!
You play a piercing tune on your tiny violin, feeling like a giant Sherlock Holmes and doing X damage. KAPOW! WHAM! SMACK!
Violin, lin, lin. Violin, lin, lin. Hits for X damage, mage, mage, ooooooooh! BIFF! ZAP! BAM!
Notes
- Despite this being a stringed instrument, it can not be used to arm the Stone Mariachis in the Entryway to the Naughty Sorceress's Lair. It is too small.
References
- The "sarcastic pity" part of the description refers to a common cliche where a person rubs their thumb and forefinger together, claiming that they are playing the "world's smallest violin" for someone in distress.
- The "Violin, lin, lin" hit message is a reference to the They Might Be Giants song "Violin".
- Flight of the Bumblebee is a well-known bit of classical music.
- Fictional detective Sherlock Holmes often plays the violin when thinking about cases.
