So we were recently lost in the underdark at the mercy of a mad female drow wizard (only found out race and gender later, cos we were sent here as a dungeon crawl that got..... worse with every step, we genuinnely didnt suspect it was a damn drow) and as such came across a few... less than desirable magic items... one however is currently carried by the party's half ogre sword n board crusader... and its actually not all bad.
Has the 'oh bugger its bound to me and now every weapon i draw is this damn one' rules of a -2 sword, sans the -2, and is flaming and sizing to boot.... but the thing talks intelligently.... and incessently, loudly and with no 'brain-mouth filter'.... our current stop gap was gag the things 'mouth' (on one side of the T hilt of this Longsword) with a sling (requires a while to tie up and undo, impractical but doable, and it'll chew through it eventually), but would like a more permenant but non cruel way to shut it up at will, quickly, but not permenantly (the short story 'I have no mouth but I must scream' comes to mind, and we are a good party... wouldnt wish that on anyone).
So permenancied silence and adhesive seem out of the window.
We can further enchant this 'cursed' item... but its probably bad form to try to custum enchant an off switch in, so need a preexisting enchantment to apply if anyone can suggest one.
