I'm somewhat perplexed about the box that Finna gave Merlin. I believe when she handed it to him she said that it would help him in the darkest times, an hour of need, (paraphrasing). Yet, when Gaius opened it, it held a parchment about the battle. So, how was that to help Merlin? Will the container carry something in it that will appear when he needs it? Similar to the water from the Lake or the Wizard's hat with the sword of Gryffindor in Harry Potter? Please shed some light. Thank you!
