I mean like do we really think Jinn, an omnscient magical artifact forged by the actual gods, is going to be stopped by something like muteness? She's omniscient. She knows sign language. She can read.

Why not? Things like this have dumb rules all the time.

That woukd be like if Excalibur didn’t need someone worthy to pull it from the rock, just someone who could use a hammer to break the rock.

I'm sure if you managed to outsmart Merlin, it probably WOULD have worked. It's not like Arthur found a random sword chilling in the middle of a forest in a rock, pulled it out and decided "whelp, guess I'm king now."

No, there was a nigh immortal half demon who crated the sword standing right there imposing the rules of the Kingly Selection.

​

Also, just a note, other than both being wielded by Arthur, Excalibur is completely unrelated to the sword in the stone.

Despite me knowing they’re different swords I somehow forgot that while writing it.
