• The Mage Wars: Statue (2003)

  > x umbrella (@ Museum, Art Exhibit)

  • [as Nortoche:] Nortoche looked closely at the umbrella, having no idea what it could have been used for.
  • [as Marcus:] I looked closely at the umbrella. It seemed to have been fashioned from a satellite dish. Its weight had obviously taken a toll on the welding that kept it affixed since it was only loosely held in place.

  The dish has other descriptions, but not as an 'umbrella'.
