"The curse is very familiar but for some unknown reason, I don't think it was within my power to identify it just yet. It was a bizarre spell and it sure is a very annoying one as well. Compared to the Carnwennan, the Galatine has been consumed by the curse which is why it might look fine outside but once you get a hold of it, it turns out to be useless."
Merlin who was listening on the side seemed curious so he decided to butt into the topic.
"Let me have a good look, perhaps I know this "curse" you guys are talking about."
The Lady of the Lake hands over the Galatine to Merlin and the latter starts to inspect the weapon.
"Humu, humu, it is indeed a complicated spell and it seems to be consuming the weapon as well. However, it's not as complicated as I thought it would be. Lady, it seems you are fooled by its masking effect which would confuse the one who tries to trace and identify the curse itself."
