Omg the number of times I went into a mental meltdown with text adventures over that. I finally have the thing I need I am in the right place to use the thing such that it will fix whatever problem so I can move onwards How hard can it be to figure out how to ask the game to use the thing to fulfil its purpose? Quite fucking hard, it turns out. Quite fucking hard.
