considering mort has found no lack of interest in the other lost and believing in their promise, he doesn't leave a generic wish for rivals this time. instead, he writes a simple, "something to make my fights more exhilarating."

later, thinking he should specify, while he doesn't dislike fighting with his bare fists, a weapon may make it more interesting. hence, he adds another one later— "my spear." he doesn't actually expect his spear, but it was a good experience to be on the opposing side of a wish.
