Zephyrus Broom (ゼピュロスブルーム, Zepyurosuburūmu) is a ring Nature ÄRM.
It takes the form of a besom with adorned handle which is almost always seen near Dorothy (being held, or sat on). She uses it to fly and shape her particular magical element - wind. Using it as a guide for her wind magic, she can create anything from a breezing blow of wind to multiple raging tornadoes or a sharp cut that can behead the target, and the power can be boosted several times by expanding its joints (a trick seen in anime only).
Etymology and Origin[]
Zephyrus (Gk. Ζέφυρος [Zéphyros]), sometimes shortened in English to Zephyr, is the Greek god of the west wind or continental tropical air mass (cT). The gentlest of the winds, Zephyrus is known as the fructifying wind, the messenger of spring. It was thought that Zephyrus lived in a cave in Thrace.
Thus, the name of Dorothy's broom alludes to her indirect inspiration of the Wicked Witch of the West, the enemy of her namesake's direct inspiration, Dorothy Gale.
