With this in mind, Colin simply got up, drew the Hand Half Sword, and examined it closely.
There were no nicks on the blade; it looked brand new.
'I think it only happened because it cut my arm and drew blood...'
Still groggy, Colin acted on a strange impulse and ran his finger along the blade. A sharp sting followed, and blood trickled slowly down the edge.
The room was dead silent. Nothing happened.
Colin felt no vibration from the hilt, and the Magic Net around the blade was calm. It showed none of the characteristics of Magic Equipment.
He looked at his injured finger.
'Maybe it really was my imagination...'
'That actually hurt. Dammit, waking up in the middle of the night to play with a sword blade... am I really losing my mind?'
Grumbling to himself, Colin cleaned up before falling back into bed to sleep.
