This prop started off as a prebuilt (slightly flimsy) sword, and after two passes of epoxy coating and additional embellishment, it is ready for heavy use. On either side of the point is a strong magnet that is sensed within the table. The magnet is slightly inset and secured with Apoxie Sculpt, and it is what activates the puzzle
The sword drops out of a compartment in the room and is placed inside the Alchemy table as the last step of the room
