Seems like a very sharp observation to me.  L doesn't have a very
powerful Morganti weapon lying around though - wouldn't V have noticed?
And wouldn't L have used it during the battle if he could have?
Well, maybe he was distracted - but I would suspect he'd have grabbed
Spellbreaker if at all possible.  Setting that aside, if I realized I
had half a great weapon in my lab, I think I'd slap it around my wrist
despite my plain sense of fashion.  Also I think I'd put some wards
around it so the cleaning staff didn't decide to snag it...
