Question

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 (10[1])owls and bones. A modern Polish legend contends that author Jan Potocki (“yan poh-TOH-skee”) was killed by one of these objects (10[1])crafted from his mother’s sugar bowl and blessed by a priest. Jean Chastel claimed to have killed the Beast (10[1])of Gévaudan (10[1])(“zhey-voo-dahn”) using some (10[2])of these objects (10[2])derived from (10[1])a chalice, (10[1])inspiring Curt Siodmak (10[1])to invent a piece of fakelore about them. (10[1])In a German folktale, the Devil crafts seven of these objects, the first six of which are hyper-accurate (10[1])while the seventh (10[1])causes an unexpected occurrence; (10[1])that folktale (10[1])was adapted into an opera (10[1]-5[1])by Carl Maria von Weber. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1]-5[1])silver examples (10[1])of what objects (-5[1])are said to kill werewolves? (10[3])■END■ (10[1]0[1])
