Worldbuilding Tips
The first thing everybody wants to know about a futuristic milieu is what kind of ads they have. Celebrity endorsements? Regular people like you and me? A guy in a lab coat explaining the scientific properties that make one product the best? Don't try to tell us there aren't ads. Don't try it.

On the Origin of Magical Species
Once upon a time, an ant lived in the fields, and so did a grasshopper. They were bugs and did nothing of moral significance.
"Is the real world nothing but disappointments?" asked the wizard Stfenlorvcwizus, who included wizards in the real world no matter what you think about it. "Is there nothing edifying in nature? I believed every grain of sand on the beach held a lesson to learn. Was I wrong? No, rather nature is wrong and in need of correction."
The wizard Stfenlorvcwizus withdrew to his workshop and prepared his enchantments. He studied in the morning, measured in the afternoon, and chanted all evening through the night. At last he achieved his desire. And that is why we have all these enchanted animals and trees that never shut up when you try to get anything done outdoors.

Hot Enchantment Idea
Instead of talking swords, make arrows talk instead. Then they can annoy the other guy.
Addendum
I don't mean only the magic ones, but those two. Especially those. But not just those.

An Important Warning
A bunch of disguised aliens are trying to make people think swords aren't good so we'll be defenseless. Don't listen to them!
