Dead Man's Elbow

The Dead Man's Elbow is a reagent on Pagan of unknown use. Since the Avatar was sent by Vividos to gather them, they may have some 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, hinting that this reagent was usually found near where people had recently died. The Avatar found the reagent near a burnt-out house in western Tenebrae, and gave it to Vividos.

Trivia

 * In the pre-2.12 version of Ultima VIII, the reagent was called "Sticks", which led to much confusion with the reagent "Wood", therefore making it necessary to change the name with the V. 2.12 patch.


 * Dead Man's Elbow can be produced by cutting a dead tree's twigs. However, Vividos won't want these.
