a fork that quit eating and became a god's weapon instead
means A three-pronged spear, classically the weapon of sea gods like Poseidon and Neptune, and the shape of any fork with three points.
from Straight from Latin tridens, 'three-toothed' — tri- ('three') plus dens, dentis ('tooth'), the same dens that gives us dental and dentist. So a trident is literally a thing with three teeth, which makes the essence's fork joke quietly accurate: it's all in the name.
