Inspired by Jar of Eyeballs. An archetypal object is a specific or special type of real or fictional object, anything that someone would recognise as something specific. eg. He-Man's Power Sword, Excalibur, a lightsaber, a school bell, a philosopher's stone, a superhero's cape, a piece of furniture that flies or takes you to Narnia, a mad scientist's experimenting vat, a lucky talisman, a religious symbol, x-ray specs, thor's hammer.
They will usually be artifacts and/or equipment, but they don't have to be.
Because it's a top down design, I thought it would be interesting for people to post prompts for other people, (Don't try and be clever, just what comes to mind), although I don't know for sure if that'll work out. Either making a card with an idea of your own or fulfilling someone else's prompt is fine.
Here are some object ideas:
-Any of the bells from Garth Nix's Sabriel
-The Master Sword
-The Ocarina of Time
-Ice, Fire, Light Arrows (from Zelda)
-A cell phone
-"Magic Paintbrush" (I think this is a common enough trope- where someone has a paintbrush that brings things to life?)
Question: Would something like Sharingan fit this challenge?
I made Mirror to Another Dimension.
Sonic Screwdriver. That counts, right?
Added Jedi's Lightsaber, Philosopher's Stone and Lucky Charm. Well, someone's got to pick up the common items left around by Jack, eh? To make up for the archetypes I took, I'll add 5 more:
Yes, sonic screwdriver definitely counts :)
Here's a stab at the Master Sword: Master Sword (LttP).
I forgot to link to the ones I made.
Exorcist's Bell
Excalibur
Fire arrow
Ranna, the Sleeper
Second-hand Lightsaber
Stirrup
Created Magic Paintbrush. Other ideas:
Also, Haunted Castle and Peephole
Jack just stole the final five suggestions, so I'm adding five more.
Sorin's Gaze
