I want someone to drink mead out of my skull after I die and absorb my power. This is my fondest wish.
Describe your powers for a potential future buyer.
Honestly, yeah. I spent decades developing and maintaining it, hopefully will spend a few more decades with it, but after that? I have no use for it anymore, but if it's still in decent condition, it would be a shame to waste it.
I'd rather have it be of some use to someone, and "drink mead out of it" is very high up the list, right after "use it for science or education" and right before "use it for semi-realistic (but doubly awesome) historical weapon tests or demos". Other contenders are "deco piece", "movie/theatre prop" and "ritual implement".
Actually, that probably applies to most of my body. Reuse or repurpose as much as you can, turn the rest into fertiliser.
Failing that (if my spouse or family can't stand the thought of cremating my remains, I don't want to force them), at least bury me with some weapons. Not because I believe in Valhalla, I just want to troll some future archaeologist. Bonus points for mixing eras and qualities, e.g. a wallhanger 1700s cavalry sabre, weapons-grade Xiphos and a non-functional gun reproduction, dressed in a 900s Samurai armour.
