Probably WH00P5, but part of it is covered.

Ah, I think it's one of those cursed enchantments where you get luck with it but lose the equivalent amount of luck as soon as you no longer have it. Kind of like a Zashiki-warashi or a Rabbits Foot.

I was thinking the seller might have a curse that would cause her to get hit by a car, but she had the crystal that was constantly protecting her until she handed it over. But I like your idea too.

What is zashiki-warashi? The first part of the name sounds African, but the second part sounds Japanese..... Either way, never heard of it. I could google it, but I find conversation eases understanding for both parties.

Holy smokes I remember having these toys as a kid and losing the pieces on the first day.

At risk of sounding like a loser, I often think about those toys and quote the tv pilot episode I had on vhs. They were my absolute favourite.

That's just poor timing.
