ice sickle
I know, I know. You want to ride your ice sickle, you want to ride your Ike. Got it. You'd be far better off using it as a weapon than trying to ride it, though, given that it's about as sharp as frozen water can be. Weaponsmiths have found that the light gleaming off its frozen edge, plus the latent proletarian symbolism, tend to enrage monsters. No one's exactly sure how or why, though.
Type: weapon (1-handed knife)
Power: 100

References
- The item name is a play on the word "icicle".
- The Queen song "Bicycle Race" contains the lyrics "I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike."
- "Latent proletarian symbolism" refers to the crest of the former USSR, which consisted of a hammer and sickle.
- "The light gleaming off its frozen edge... tend[s] to enrage monsters" may be a reference to Albert Camus's book The Stranger, in which the light glinting off of a knife enraged the protagonist, Meursault, causing him to kill the knife's holder.
