Sometimes may be an Artifact of Attraction - the very reason you wanted that sword so desperately in the first place was because it was messing with your head. Contrast with Holy Is Not Safe, where even without being "unholy" it is still a dangerous item.

If the Unholy Holy Sword is plot-important or The Reveal occurs during the climax or penultimate stage of the story, the plot may very well shift in the direction of sealing or destroying it so that no one can use it again, if not a full-on dramatic confrontation with the villain over its true purpose. ![]() (This doesn't work with Powered by a Forsaken Child examples unless you can find a different power source - maybe one that works even better!).
