"Laser batteries recharging," <name> says, hovering near your shoulder. "Can you dig it?"
With stick-on mini solar panels equipped:
"Charging funkadelic beam array," says <name> as its solar panels begin to glow. "Targeting jive turkey. Firing." It launches a blinding burst of light at your opponent, burning them for X damage, and thoroughly impressing you with the far-out light show.
You gain X Mana Points.

Arena Messages

When entered in a game of Hide and Seek:
<name> is far too shiny to be much good at hiding.

Acts as a <weight + min(20, 2*Player Level)> pound Spooky Pirate Skeleton when used on a Disco Bandit, and as a normal weight one on any other class.
With the Solar Panels equipped, can do both actions in the same round.

"Jive turkey" is an insult meaning someone out of touch with current hip culture, used at the height of the disco era.
