Dai Grepher: To make the spell more effective, reduce casting time, strengthen the spell, or to localize the spell into one target.

Take Lord of the Rings. Gandalf has a sword when facing the Balrog, but he doesn't use it for "magic".

All of this other spells are done with the staff or, presumably, his own effort. |
Dai Grepher: We are not discussing The Lord of the Rings, we are discussing Zelda.

Dai Grepher: It can also lure the enemy into a trap by making enemy think he or she is attacking a swordfighter, then catch them off guard when the blade is filled with magic to be used against them by a spellcaster.
