I've always wondered about cursed weapons, and how you can only unequip them with a remove curse spell. In practical terms (ie. not in video game mechanics), why wouldn't you be cursed just by picking up the weapon? What's the practical difference between picking it up and equipping it? For example, lets say there's a cursed sword on the ground. If you go and pick it up, you're not going to pick it up by the blade. You'd pick it up by the hilt. Wouldn't that already constitute as equipping it? Why is it in the game you only get cursed when you put it in the weapon slot and not when you pick it up?
