Combat Messages

• Regular message:

  You gain X Mana Points.

• Enthroned in the Crown of Thrones:

  <Name> filters moonlight through itself, through you, and into <him>, doing X damage.

• Bjornified in the Buddy Bjorn:

  <name> pops up over your shoulder and focuses a beam of moonlight directly into your opponent's eyes, for X damage.

• With lucky Tam O'Shanter equipped:

  <name> glows brightly, revealing some meat your foe dropped in all the excitement.

• With miniature gravy-covered maypole equipped:

  <name> beams and floats around the maypole.

• With wax lips equipped:

  <name> smiles vertically with his wax lips. You must have stuck them on wrong.

Arena Messages

• When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:

  <name> shines too brightly to hide very well.

Notes

• The starfish is required to pass part of the Perplexing Door during the Naughty Sorceress Quest.
• Damage/MP restore ranges from int((X+3)/2) to (X+3), where X is the weight of the familiar. It acts 33% of the time. On average, the starfish will regenerate MP equal to slightly more than 25% of its weight after every round of combat.
• The Star Starfish can be used to perform the Star Starfish Trick.
• Somewhat surprisingly, the Star Starfish can NOT breathe underwater.

References

• In the haiku, Do You Believe In Magic? is a song by the Lovin' Spoonful. "Do you believe in magic?" was also a McDonald's slogan in 1993, based on the aforementioned song.
• "Wish upon this star" in the haiku refers to the song When You Wish upon a Star from the 1940 Walt Disney movie Pinocchio.
• In the wax lips message, "smiles vertically with his wax lips" may be a play on "vertical lips", which along with the starfish, can be taken as anatomical references.
