By Thrazar's Katzbalger!

So here's a fun little toy I found via a link on my buddy's blog. It takes a text input (a name) and puts it through mathemagraphical transmogrifications to turn it into some sort of fantastic weapon. For example, I type 'Thrazar' and got this:

I'm lsightly disappointed I didn't get an axe.
A katzbalger is obviously a blade of some sort but I had to look it up on the Wikipedia to find out more.

    your name ranks an Attack of 18!

    It's totally phasic that katzbalger a) looks so much like the gladius sword of the EC weapon list, and b)is usually translated as "cat-gutter."

    Darnit Jeff, my next post was going to be the T&T stats for a Katzbalger. Love the weapon and its figure of 8 hilt.

    Given the leveling-up requirements for the Warrior Class in EC, that's really darned helpful :)

    Kudos to you, Jeff!
    When you said "mathemagraphical transmogrifications" I thought you were just being cute. Turns out, it´s the most precise description of what happens!

    This is going to be my favorite net-toy for a while, I think --

    I don't get to have a nice stabbity sword, though. Alas.
