[plt-scheme] Re: Casting SPELs in Lisp^H^H^H^H Scheme

That was the issue. Thanks a lot! :)
So, the code becomes:
(define *chain-welded* #f)

(define *bucket-filled* #f)

(define (set-chain-welded)
  (set! *chain-welded* #t))

(define (set-bucket-filled)
  (set! *bucket-filled* #t))

And later:
(game-action weld chain bucket attic
  (cond [(have 'bucket)
         (set-chain-welded)
         '(the chain is now securely welded to the bucket.)]
        [else '(you do not have a bucket.)]))

Likewise for the bucket.
