References

• The description references the poem "Jabberwocky", written by Lewis Carroll. It appears in the book Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.
  

  One, two! One, two! And through and through
  The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
  He left it dead, and with its head
  He went galumphing back.

• The Vorpal Blade appeared in D&D and then in NetHack, where the ")" symbol was used to represent weapons dropped on the ground. In either instance, the Vorpal Blade is notorious for beheading, delimbing, or otherwise mutilating one's enemies.
