I just tried to bond a weapon with trace bond scimitar and received the reply "You trace the ward of bonding around a scimitar, but nothing happens", or something to that affect. I thought maybe I had the wrong scimitar so I looked but saw only one but yet tried trace bond other scimitar and got the same message. I then pulled out my soulstone and discovered I was at pristine and had full juice. I then looked around for another weapon thinking maybe the deader only thought they had a scimitar out, but found the only thing on the ground was a scimitar. Any ideas why this happened?

The only thing I can think of is maybe the deader had the scimitar knocked out of his hand prior to dieing, but not even sure that would matter. Any help with the ward of bonding would be appreciated.

<<Well first question is, Do you have a scimitar on you? Second would be did anyone else pick it up or did you just find them in the hunting groud dead?

I didn't have a scimitar and yes, I found the deader while walking through. Nobody picked it up for it was on the ground when I traced. Unless you mean did somebody pick it up and then drop it, don't know. (Again not sure if that matters, just giving as much information as possible)

If the weapon is held by someone for to long it gets tagged by the system as being theirs so bonding wont work.

>The longer the weapon is on the ground, the higher the circle of the person needed to bond it.

Concurs with my observations.

::ponder:: Typically that means it must be incorrect, however, in this case I think it's safe agree there is a timer.

<<I have failed to get this one off, every time. Every time I check my soul I am at pristine lumin(other letters here). Circle 16, Charisma 13.

Speaking from experience, are you using the right syntax? Tracing the glyph on the item is the right way. For a while I kept trying to trace the glyph on the person and failing before I figured it out.

-Evran it out.

<<I have been tracing it on the person, the whole time I should have been tracing on the weapon.

Incidentally, the bond glyph works on any item that was dropped at death, not just weapons. I'm not sure if you were aware of that going by the phrasing of your post.

Yeah, I was in the room when an empath was killed. Seeing something drop i immediately traced bond on it (in case the person that killed them wanted to snatch it). Then I realized I had just traced on a mug of grog or something. Felt kind of silly, until I saw it zip over into the empath;s hand.

<<Never silly to save the booze!>>
Awesome. haha.
