All the Great Weapons have Saberhagen's Coinspinner built in? I have to doubt. As for Barritt, I'd say that the *only* thing we know is that when he died Pathfinder was hiding in a sheath. We don't know if he used it, or stood down the Empire on his own. We don't know if he put it in the sheath or couldn't get it out or didn't even know he had it. We don't know. I don't think we know Iceflame's "ability" either; the only thing I recall is Vlad saying it was "Dzur Mountain in hand, whatever that means." And as powerful as Godslayer and the Orb. Vlad, so unreliable, but I'd still guess that it's Dzur Mountain's remote access terminal, or at least has that function. -xx- Damien X-)
