Alec perked up at the mention of the sword. He'd seemed to have skill with them, surprising both Magnus and himself when he seemed to go through practice drills with ease. "I might be able to tell you more about the sword and why it burned someone. Weaponry seems to be one of those weird subjects I know a lot about. Magnus might know something about it too if it's magical."
