hello, I'm new here, and I need some help (I've never been on a group
before so please forgive/correct any mistakes): I found The Main Gauche
of Maedros (+10, +12) (+3), which was giving me 5 or 6 hits per turn
with around 300+ HP damage, then I found The Phial of Undeath (-5),
read *Remove Curse* for it, examined it and the message said that it
gave 5 to light radius so I put it on then started to try it out, it
recursed itself, gave me the Black Breath, and gave me the message "you
feel that your weapon is useless <more>" I hurriedly got rid of it and
rechecked my weapon and it said that it had no blows!! does anyone know
how to fix it?? I have a few other good weapons so I can do without if
I have to. Thanks in advance.

Learn from your mistakes. There are some things in TOME that are
REALLY nasty, The Phial of Undeath is one of them. That was put in
to hose players who just instantly equipped a phial without IDing it
because the only Phial in the game prior to that existing was the
Phial of Galadriel, the first Artifact light. I don't remember any
way of repairing your poor weapon. BTW on the Black Breath, find a
Sprig of Alethas ASAP!

The Phial of Undeath has the Morgothian curse, which is really
horrible and spreads to other equipment. Your weapon is permanently
altered. Your other equipment might have the Morgothian Curse added, too;
make sure to *identify* everything.

And don't wield cursed artifacts before *identify*ing them in the future,
for your own safety!

Oh well, I have another weapon that is almost as good so that will have
to do.
The Mayor in Bree gave me some Sprigs of Athelas after finishing one of
his quests so I'm ok.
