Take the serrated sword to the other skeleton and rip him apart.
You haven't got a serrated sword. You had a
lead bloodstone pipe, which you dropped.
(( I don't think I know how modifiers work- I keep on using essences to counteract the maluses, but it seems that they don't show up in the first place. were they changed and the OP wasn't updated or something?))
They are still there, but I usually don't write them down because in most cases -1 doesn't do much due to essences involved. IN your animation spell there was no -3 because you were not making an item with animate modifier, animating the balloon was the whole spell.

Bloodmage Jackson was second to enter through the portal, but far better known than Damond. He was known for being able to weave music that was not only magical but absolutely enchanting and for ending most of his shows as a bloodied heap of broken bones and torn muscles. He tested his voice once. He tested his voice twice. He tested his voice thrice and then both of his ears exploded.
{Bloodmage Jackson: Deaf.}
