i got a question: when you take the sword out the stone(wherever its located) a monster starts to eliminate the nearby town, right? well, if you use the magic mirror or the duplicating trick and you copy the sword, cant you just keep one of them and put the other back in the stone to stop the killing? i dont know how good the sword is, but it must be pretty powerfull, if it is able to unleash a monster.
