Any appetite for a footnote in these sections? While you can't leave
the Sommerswerd in safe keeping, it is possible for the player to drop
it. Maybe they want to challenge themselves to play the books without
the Sommerswerd? Or maybe they simply don't realize its value at
first? Anyway, it is conceivable that a player who once possessed the
Sommerswerd to now only possess the Magic Spear.
