In a Slovene folktale, the Count of Ljubljana (“l’yob-l’YAH-nuh”) uses one of these objects to try to kill the warlock Lampret from 26 miles away. In a Johann Apel tale, William crafts some of these objects while in a magic circle at a crossroads and surrounded by owls and bones. A modern Polish legend contends that author Jan Potocki (“yan poh-TOH-skee”) was killed by one of these objects crafted from his mother’s sugar bowl and blessed by a priest. Jean Chastel claimed to have killed the Beast of Gévaudan (“zhey-voo-dahn”) using some of these objects derived from a chalice, inspiring Curt Siodmak to invent a piece of fakelore about them. In a German folktale, the Devil crafts seven of these objects, the first six of which are hyper-accurate while the seventh causes an unexpected occurrence; that folktale was adapted into an opera by Carl Maria von Weber.
