  quote: ''
  summary: Before and during the battle of Magh Tuireadh, Lugh asks the Tuatha de
    Danaan specialists what aid they can provide. The smith, brazier, carpenter, and
    physician promise weapons, fittings, shafts, shields, and healing. The Tuatha
    revive wounded warriors in the well of Slaine through spells and herbs, and renew
    weapons daily through expert craft. The Fomor send Ruadan to spy and then attack
    Goibniu; Goibniu kills Ruadan with the same spear and is healed in the well. The
    Fomor then fill and dry up the well. A later notice says Goibniu enchants a spear-shaft
    so that those struck by it burn like fire.
