Soul Bucket

**Soul Bucket** is one of two legendary enchanted swords created on the whims of the mad god Reanu Keeves in Skyrim.

## History

After Reanu's rampage through Whiterun with his enchanted forks, the people of Skyrim started to forget to take Reanu seriously, so he sought to impress them with some new creations.

Normally otherwise useless training items and toys, wooden swords are the least powerful weapons in Skryim save for forks. However, Reanu procured two of them from Arcadia the tradeswoman in Whiterun (thankfully, her business had not been obliterated in the fork apocalypse) to subject them to similar enchantments with the powers of the Cheesy Exploits. He proceeded to first use one of the swords to repeatedly beat ingredients out of poor Arcadia to make some special potions and, getting what he wanted, took the swords to a grindstone to vastly increase their damage. This made the swords each more powerful than any existing weapon (that he hadn't made himself) and in a branching timeline he took them on yet another rampage around Whiterun, killing everything in sight.

Back in the current timeline, Reanu took the swords to an arcane enchanting table where he bestowed one of them with the power to harvest that person's soul into a gem provided the person struck by the weapon died within six months. While not as physically powerful as most of Reanu's mad toys, it still inflicted 339 points of damage, enough to instantly kill most enemies.

Another sword was created, this one with the power to *absorb 17,977,670 points of health* from whoever it strikes to add to Reanu's own health, instantly killing them and rendering Reanu even MORE immortal. The sword also has the power to negate all armor, shields, and even has the benefit of harvesting the immortality of Skyrim children to siphon infinite amounts of health from them. It worked very well with its older sister; if the target somehow survived a hit from Soul Bucket, this sword would immediately finish them off.

Reanu, in his sheer excitement from his creations, forgot to bestow this weapon with a name. In doing so, the weapon became cursed; anyone who tried to give the weapon a name would meet an unfortunate end.

In one such case, it is rumored that a man known as Billy Fay suggested in passing to Reanu that this sword should have been named "*Your Soul is Pine*." However, it seems Reanu did not appreciate a clever pun that did not come from him and visited the poor Fay in the night with Forkgive Me.

### The Fall of the College of Winterhold

With his weapons in hand, Reanu Keeves set forth on his quest to do what he originally intended to do with his forks but forgot to do: convince the College of Winterhold to accept his application with his degree in Khajit Trading.

Unfortunately, Taldir and the Mage's Guild still refused his entry, so Reanu decided that nothing short of the College's absolute destruction would satisfy him. Against his swords, there was no resisting the mad god, but fortunately, rather than kill everyone, Reanu left to pursue a new dream of becoming a reverend.

Still not satisfied with his testing, Reanu forced one and then a whole gang of Ebony Warriors into existence, and they almost managed to defeat him by disarming him of Soul Bucket but Reanu emerged victorious.
