Dead Man's Elbow

The Dead Man's Elbow is a reagent on Pagan with unknown usefulness. Since the Avatar was sent by Vividos to gather them, they obviously have a connection to the magic school of Necromancy, but nothing more than this is known.

In Ultima VIII, Vividos told the Avatar that Dead Man's Elbow was one of the two reagents the hero had to find in order to be accepted as a student, giving the hint that this reagent usually is found near where people had recently died. The Avatar therefore went to a burnt-out house in eastern Tenebrae and found the reagent there to give to Vividos.

Trivia

 * In the unpatched game, the reagent was called "Sticks", which led to much confusion with the reagent "Wood", therefore making it neccassary to change the name with the patch to make the difference more clear.
