The illegality of whether carrying a wooden sword is legal or not always comes down to intent. I can legally play Baseball or cricket with a wooden bat, but if I decided to go out at night and visit someone with the same bat it could be construed as intentionally carrying an offensive weapon, because I am not looking to play cricket at night. Anything can be used as an offensive weapon, the law is about intent. Carrying a wooden sword is not illegal, it is what you intend to do with that sword.

How did Merlin arrange for the next king of England to be decided?

Merlin arranged for the King of England, after Uther's death, to be decided by a test. In a church graveyard was a stone, and in it a sword with the words on either side "Take me up" and "Cast me away". All knights tried to draw the sword from the stone but couldn't. Arthur wasn't allowed to try as he was only a squire. At the tournament, Kay is missing his sword as Arthur, as Kay's squire, has forgotten it. He runs back to the inn but it's closed, so he spots the sword in the church graveyard and draws it, promising to return it. He takes it to Kay, who recognises it. After, Kay is asked by his father, Sir Ector, if he drew it and he says he did. They return to the graveyard and the sword is placed back in the stone and Kay is instructed to draw it again. Naturally, he can't. Arthur is then told to try and he draws the sword easily.
