  Summary

  When a mysterious sorcerer comes to Camelot, Arthur becomes trapped in his own sword, mere moments after witnessing Merlin use magic. Simultaneously, Merlin is cursed to be mute. The poor warlock is unable to explain himself as he listens to Arthur-the-Sword shout at him, and Merlin frantically journeys to save them both from their curses.
