This blanket is fluffy, but a little thread-bare. It doesn't keep the cold out very well. You vaguely wonder who has been handing out all of the blankets you've accumulated in the game, but quickly forget that question when you wrap it around yourself, and shiver as a icy breeze prickles the back of your neck.

The **secret blanket** glows gently when you look at it out of the corner of your eye--sparkling like its very fabric was woven from gems.

The fluffy exterior of this blanket hides a heavy weight of PURE WILLPOWER inside of it. When you wrap yourself in it, you feel like you can tackle any problem.
