It looks like a child's concept of a magic weapon that couldn't possibly work.

It contains no spellsilver, there's just magic stuck to it for no visible reason, like a few bits of somebody's scaffold got stuck in there and impossibly stayed in place; and the magic has some unfamiliar - color, texture, flavor, something, that Carissa has never seen and cannot offhand imagine any way to do to a piece of magic on purpose.

The foreign magic is structured - carelessly, sloppily, in huge scribbles, not just by Carissa's standards but by the standards of anyone in Golarion who could make a magic item at all.  Any kind of spell you could cast by pumping mana through this awful scribble would have to be three spell circles simpler than a cantrip, and even then it couldn't work unless the mana itself was somehow just way easier to work with and shape into spells.
