Deja voodoo doll
deja voodoo doll
Plural: deja voodoo dolls
This doll reminds you of something. You're not sure if it's something that happened long ago, or something you dreamed of, or something that's happening right now, or something that you saw in a movie once that just repeated itself over and over again. Great. Now you're humming some tune and thinking about David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly, and you don't know why.
Miscellaneous Item
Item cannot be auto-sold
Combat Usable
How Obtained
- Using Marty Crouch's magic chest (0-11)
You hold up the voodoo doll, which somehow imprints itself upon your current opponent. (Added for current turn duration + 1 minute.)
Adds effect: Deja Voodoo
or (see notes)
You hold up the voodoo doll, but it has no reaction to your opponent. Apparently the mojo of your foe is stronger than the voodoo of you.
Notes
- Cannot be used against the following foes:
- Scaling monsters
- Sunset Strip Mine foes
- Fiendish Pit foes
- Fighting Robots foes
- Quadrant Delta-Delta-Delta Force foes
- Row vs. Wade Battlefield foes
- Sector 7-Gamma foes
- Is not consumed when it fails to work.
- You can use more than one on the same foe. However, although this increases the duration of the effect, it does not affect anything else (the foe is not replicated twice).
- The effect is cleared by rollover, so don't use one on your last turn.
References
- The item name is a play on Déjà vu, the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously, and Voodoo doll.
- The tune mentioned is Magic Dance which David Bowie sings in the movie Labyrinth after stealing the baby from Jennifer Connelly's character. The connection is the words "the power of voodoo" from that song.
