A small, narrow, pointed missile. Today, a game is played where darts are tossed at a circular target. The location of the dart on the board determines the score, and there are many game variations.

They would throw these against their absent enemies, and believed this would result in giving them horrible pains and ailments. From his description, this was a form of sympathetic magic.
