Back to The Song of the Sorcelator

Hurt and Burn

Hurt and Burn are the twin wands wielded by Grimm Shado, the hero of L H Franzibald's derivative work The Song of the Sorcelator.

In the original, canon, extremely Epic Book 9 of the Brahe Cycle, Felthar wields an Elemenstave called Heartburn. In Franzibald's bastardized version, the stave has been split into two wands: Hurt and Burn. While most people have an instinctive reaction (namely "Whoa! Two wands?"), it should be kept in mind that Shado hardly ever does anything different with the two wands. He mostly just hurts and burns at the same time, instead of hurting one thing and burning another.

Grimm Shado obtained Hurt during his adventures on Gloxfarb VII, chornicled in Chapter 3 of The Song of the Sorcelator. After fighting off the X-treme Zombie Cyberbikervixen Gang at the base of the volacano, Mount Destructor, Grimm darkly and handsomely (and dangerously) tossed a severed zombie cyberbikervixen head into the heart of the volanco. This angered the dark spirit within the mountain, Lord Hurt. After a bodacious battle with Lord Hurt, Grimm handsomely and darkly (and dangerously) punched a hole through his enemy with his bare fist, and tore out his bad and evil (and black) heart, which he used to fashion his first wand.

Grimm obtained his second wand, Burn, at Logthrax's Discount Wand store during a Hypersale (50% off selected wands, neural jacks, and selected other cybermagical items).
