Book of Magical Charms (17th cent.)

This work, penned in England by an unknown author, is a distinctive collection of selected passages from works on magic and various occult arts that describe everything from speaking with spirits, to cheating at dice, to curing a toothache. The book also includes a section of Latin prayers, litanies, and other magical charms that seem to stick more closely to mainstream religious practices.

A classic, lantern shield with gauntlet for the left hand and several blades, some of which are retractable. The ultimate multi-purpose tool. German, ca. early 17th century, housed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

can you imagine being this extra? “My shield has a sword, two knives and can punch you. Also brass accents because fashion, bitch.”

I don’t even know what that hole at the top is. A grenade launcher?

I think that’s the lantern but i like your idea better lol

Looks like Stabby, the steampunk roomba.
