Oath,
I'm not sure if its at all helpful, but the Goetian you've been 'bothered by' belongs under Michael and Goap, and as such will fallow orders under there names. Though I can't imagine why you would want to destroy one, but to answer your question, I don't see how it could even be remotely possible, as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Even if you could, I don't imagine those over Glasya would appreciate you taking one of there own and destroying it, as I'm sure they can find a much better use for him.
As for the sword, its a symbol to mankind for millenium of many diffrent things, not the least of which are power and protection.
I believe it was in Angel Magick by Chauccer (think I misspelled the name to) who spoke of an invocation done by the Ordo Templi Astartes in which it was noted that becuase the spirits have no physical body, the chance to experience the world through our senses seems quite appealing, not to say this is why your being bothered, I have no Idea, for all I know you could have just pissed someone off who has the ability to send such a spirit after you.
As far as Bym , keep in mind he has some 40 years experience. I've been practicing since I was 6 and am 25 now, and I trust his opinion above all thus far here. While he may have come off agressive, he has endless amounts of experience to draw from, of which I'm still at least 21 years behind! As far as asking other spirits for advice on the matter, that is not unheard of, but not the safest thing either, you have to learn to diffrentiate your voice from theres, to silence feeling and emotion, not something we tend to do naturally, so if you can find a breathing human with the knowledge, I would suggest it first most definately. Well this post got alot longer than I had initially intended, so I will end with wishing you luck on your endevours.....
