Thompson D1184.2: Magic string.

Wahrscheinliche Zuordnung · Textstelle

The source’s object is explicitly a “Spule mit leinenem Garn” (a spool/bobbin with linen thread), not a Spindel (spindle). The earlier possible D1186 is removed: the source/object distinction is known, so it cannot remain a possible spindle match. The narrative then calls the part the woman wants back and the soldier burns “das Garn”; cream flows from his pocket after he pockets the spool and churning ends when the thread is burned. D1184.2 “Magic string,” under D1184 “Magic thread,” is the better object definition; the effect is directly evidenced by the sequence, so assign probable. D800 generic magic object is unnecessary once the specific magic-thread motif fits. D2083.4 needs butter transferred from another by magic, while only cream is named and no other butter source is stated; D478.11 requires water transformed to butter/cream, absent.
