Lucky Broken Iron Arrow of Death

Here is the original augury:

outset fix
denote instruction recognize
environs course track indicate
omen navigate aim route
refer orientation
way

Marvin cleverly noted that the words in the omen are out of order and should read:

aim route
refer orientation
way outset fix
denote instruction recognize
environs course track indicate
omen navigate

This way taking the first letter of each word spells "Arrow of Direction", He suspects Alterio was holding the arrow in the wrong orientation when the omen was cast. He suggests that it would be useful to mend this magic item.
