'''Zakzak Stronginthearm''' is a [[CMOT Dibbler|Dibbler]]-like purveyor of suspect magical merchandise at inflated prices for gullible young witches. He is a dwarf and most of his stock has little or no magical value, but but it looks impressive. It is, in fact, this high [[Boffo (Concept)|Boffo]]-quotient that has provided him with a very good living: the stuff doesn't have to have any intrinsic magical value provided it looks good and shouts "Witch!" Zakzak has in fact hit upon a sort of recipe for the Philosopher's Stone, that which turns rubbish into gold. He has discovered what drives adolescent girls: the peer pressure that causes young girls to conform, find a place to be cool in among consumer goods which can be perceived as cool.

He works with [[Brian ("A Hat Full of Sky")|Brian]], his supposed Wizard adviser. He actually does make very good knives.

And the dwarf selling those desirable consumer goods in the perceived cool hang-out has indeed found his own goldmine. Had Zakzak been born on Roundworld, he would surely have copyrighted the idea of "Claire's Accessories", a store where put-upon parents of adolescent girls hold out wallets and purses to be emptied, on the grounds that giving in is easiest.
