Bound items question (guessing cursed?) (possible small spoiler)

I was headed west overland after getting out of the sewers. Found a rune rock. It gave me the option to try and reach the conjured armor the stone held.

I chose yes, got a wicked looking red and black gauntlet on my hand with a bound dagger in it. I can't unequip this.

I never understood bound items in MW and now this cruddy dagger I can't get rid of. Any tips on what to do here?

On my journal, under spells, and the active effects tab, I have bound dagger and bound gauntlets. When I highlight this I get Spell: Rune Blade & Bracer.

Well, I was weighted down from my initial dungeon and cross country hike. I went ahead and quick traveled to the place to meet Geoffry and the spell was broken and the bracer/dagger bound combo disappeared.

Whoa. I'll have to retrace my steps to that dungeon, and search around. :eek:

Did you try hitting F to lower your weapon? I've found that bound weapon spells vanish when I do that. Finally, if that doesn't work, note that all bound spells have a time limit. If you wait that length of time, the spell wears off.

FYI, it's west of the Sinkhole Caves enroute to Weynon Priory but before you get to Fort Empire.

How does bound work, and it is good/bad to get/have?

They don't raise skills temporarily, as they did in Morrowind, but they are the equivalent of Daedric items: the strongest metal you can wear or use in the game. So, the best attack for a weapon, bar enchanting.
