That event is very strange, I think. In my game it happens to Ipo who said "Sunimeg" and the text said: "The mirror shimmers briefly, like a pool of water then suddenly shatters into a million tiny shards. However Ipo is astonished to find that he is still staring into his own eyes!" (I noted it to translate because my English is so bad!)
And now I have a totem, named Ipo, and I can select it because it is in the list of my villager. But, "it" is still 9 years old, (Ipo is now 30 y o) at 90% healthy. I putted it in a corner of the village and tried to forget it. But to day, a new event happens: the totem-Ipo is a prodigy chid!! I choose to let him play and now "it" has some building skills!! But what is the use for that? May-be I must wait that the real Ipo becomes "Esteemed Elder" and has a totem??
What do you think about that? I don’t know what to do now.
