It hid the name and location of a magic sword. One had to think the name to activate the magic, with the catch that if you learned the name from someone else you could never activate it.Swiftly do I killUnseen my auraSilently I speakKnowledge of my name[SPOILER="Sword name"]It takes the letters from the end and start of each line to spell "Lake Susk", which was both the sword's location and its name (in the game world). Naturally, the sword's powers were built around stealth, secrecy and non-detection. The sword would also float on water (whether you knew the name or not), as a clue.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
