This happened a lot to magic swords with annoying personalities
An intentionally destroyed #BronzeAge #sword found in a burial at Blaubeuren-Asch. Bronze Age weapons deposited in burials were often bent or hacked into pieces before placed into the grave, in this way they 'died' with the owner. Dating 9th century BC.

The use of magical curses in chariot racing, including by the competitors themselves, became such a problem that Theodosius I proclaimed a law against it in 389.
