Have you ever wanted something like a potion for healing or a bag of holding–because we know we have! We are going to include our opinions and the thoughts of our peers on their favorite magical items! The Nugget staff interviewed several Helena High students about this interesting topic.
One person who picked cloak of invisibility said, “I just think it’d be kinda cool to have the power to turn invisible when you’d need to.” If you could go invisible for one day, what would you do on that day? Being invisible would be really funny ’cause you could just go around jump-scaring people.
Would you like to have a sentient weapon? Because this person would! “I like the FLAVOR that a character can have with a weapon that isn’t just a weapon.” We love the idea of there being a sentient sword or knife that is a pacifist trying not to fight anyone, but the owner is a knight or hitman. We think that would be funny! And like they accidentally get in fights and just keep apologizing during them.
How about a magic sword? Another student stated, “Swords are dope!” Very correct, my anonymous friend. In fact, try a sword that is enchanted with gravity magic so every time you hit something it gets lighter or heavier–suddenly funny. Or like you just have a sword enchanted with invisibility and then start panicking because you can’t find your sword.
Magic staffs are another favorite of Helena High students “because like you could just go around screaming ‘I have a staff’ and I feel like no one would question you if you like went around hitting random people and things. Also sticks are like super cool.” No, but screaming “FIREBALL” while playing fireball by Pitbull and just shooting fire into the air would be sick. Or just pull a total Gandalf: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!”
Many students chose a bag of infinity. One said, “Because I’d pull out a cake every day during 6th period and confuse Mrs. Clark so much.” Another person said, “Imagine you’re fighting someone and you literally pull out a cannon from your bag, what are they gonna do against a CANNON!?!?” Yeah, imagine accidentally pulling something random out and being confused, but going with it, like going to grab a sword and getting a lollipop. And just sword fight with the lollipop. Or like CAKE AND COOKIES AND TACOS FOR ALL!
I feel like a magic carpet would be so funny. You could just go around flying, singing “A WHOLE NEW WORLD.” Also, imagine seeing someone being chased by a magic carpet or falling off one; that’s golden comedy right there. (Sky Lee)
I would go with magic jewelry–like I want a ring that has the ability to pause time, so I could draw moustaches on random people and flip their hoodies around so the hood is on their faces, and they just stumble for a minute. And nobody would ever know it was you. (DJ Knickerbocker)
