Attempt to use the copper gear mechanism
{[USE]: [Copper Gear Mechanism]
The gear winch seems to open the main gate, and you decide to try and active the rusty old device.
There is a metal [Crank Handle] but it is lodged firmly in the [Skeletons] ribcage, so you try to move the whole gear by itself. Unfortunately the [Soldiers Spear] makes sure that none of the gears can move since it is threaded through three different spokes.
If you had more than your pathetic noodle arms you might be able to remove it, but alas, you do not.
After a few attempts to remove the spear, the [Spear Shaft] breaks off in your hands and you flop to the floor with a loud splat.
{You got: [Broken Spear Shaft]!}
It has barely been a minute and you have already broken something inside the castle. This is a new personal best. Or personal worst, based on whatever your opinion on breaking things might be.
Only the shaft broke, the [Spear Head] is still locking the gears in place. It seems like the mechanism is too damaged to operate without repairing it first.
The shaft is made out of high quality wood and it is gilded with golden bands around the top and bottom. It is heavy and solid in your hands. It would work as a decent polearm weapon but without the spear head it would do very little damage.
Your [Harvest Blade Spear] and your [Rusty Spear] are still better weapons, but if past experience has taught you anything, you can probably find a use for sturdy wooden stick while exploring.
