->There is one final quality of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Thing®]] which it is worth mentioning, and that is the way it embodies the perverse wickedness of [[EvilSorcerer its creator]]'s imagination. A statement usually has several possible opposites. The Thing® tends to choose the one most likely to do mischief, in accord with its creator's particular and warped perspective of the world.\\
Had Bingo spoken the sentence, "I wish I were free" through the Thing®, it would have made the opposite true, such that Bingo did not wish to be free, was happy to be a captive and welcomed the fate the spiders had in store.

->There is one final quality of the [[ArtifactOfDoom Thing®]] which it is worth mentioning, and that is the way it embodies the perverse wickedness of [[EvilSorcerer its creator]]'s imagination. A statement usually has several possible opposites. The Thing® tends to choose the one most likely to do mischief, in accord with its creator's particular and warped perspective of the world.
->Had Bingo spoken the sentence, "I wish I were free" through the Thing®, it would have made the opposite true, such that Bingo did not wish to be free, was happy to be a captive and welcomed [[{{Chestburster}} the fate]] [[GiantSpider the spiders]] [[FateWorseThanDeath had in store]]. Had he said, "I wish I were a captive", then he would have found nothing changed – the Thing® would have been happy with the world as it found it, a world in which Bingo did not wish he were a captive. But let us assume that Bingo was wise enough to follow Thorri's advice, and to speak only declarative statements, rather than wishes, through the Thing®. Let us say he had uttered the phrase, "We are captives". Then the Thing® could have chosen to free the dwarfs, the wizard and the soddit. But it could just as well and more likely have chosen to interpret "we" as meaning all the captives in all the prisons of the world; or as meaning only Bingo and the spiders; or as meaning anything its perverse magic imagination liked. It is a truth that applies to all magic devices, and applies to the Thing® above all: [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor one must phrase one's wishes very carefully indeed when one uses such objects]].
