The Armoury - Stakes

STAKES
"We all carry them in LA. Pepper Spray is so passe." - Welcome to the Hellmouth

Your basic weapony, a stake is an essential part of a Slayers bag of tricks. As long as they are wooden a stake can be made from anything: tree branches, snooker cues, chair legs, false limbs (!). But if you are making them from scratch you must remember to "Whistle while [you] whittle"(Xander). You can actually buy offical Buffy Stakes on the internet by mail order(!)I came across it by accident. If I can find the site again I will add a link to my favourite links page.
If you so desire you can name your favourite stake.

How to Use

Point the sharpened end away from you and stab into the heart of any maurading vampire. If you hit the target they will explode into dust (hence the term 'dusting a vampire') However, plunging a sharpened implement into anybody's heart will probably (nay - certainly) kill them.

Other Uses for a Stake

If you don't have any vampires where you live, there are many things you can do with this versitile implement, such as:

Build really tiny wooden fences around your front gardento stop pixies from trampling over your prized daffodils (?)

Use the pointy end to clean the dirt out from under your nails.

Use it as a crampon when you are rock climbing.

Get 12 or 13 of them and make a salom course for small animals.

Magnetise it (because you can magnetise wood! lol) and use it as a big compass.

Stick it on a pole, add a cockrel and you have a weather-vane.

Use them to make the legs on really small furniture.
FIN

MAD MERCHANDISING!!!!!
When they say that you can buy anything on the internet they were right!!!!!

You can buy your very owm 'Buffy' (real wood) stake for just $17.95!! I can't tell you what site this is on, as that would be advertising, and that is not allowed, but you'll find it!!!!
