The Egg

The Egg was just one of the many antiquities the School owned that was known to be important and such, but also useless.

Decades ago, the finest minds in the school's facilities had, after the school obtained The Egg, used every magical spell and item they could think of to try and hatch it. When they failed, it was deemed impossible.

In the years since, there'd been the occasional bright Idea, some new spell, some new artefact. But nothing magically powerful worked.

Until I had the idea of grabbing it and sticking it under a chicken for a few days.
