only weapons with a printed defense value can counterattack. Before the errata, the item could be powered up for a stronger attack against a wall or powerd up enemy. It could NOT counterattack a monster thats attacking you. If you have been using it that way, you have been using it improperly/cheating.

In case you think it gains defense value from the spell, it doesn't. The spells INCREASE values, they don't give them. There is a difference between a 0 value and no value. Most weapons don't have a defense value. For an example of 0 value check out.
