Young Arthur was first turned into a fish so that he could learn to use his brain in difficult situations like escaping from a bigger fish.

Finally Mim turned herself into a dragon, again against the rules, forcing Merlin to become a germ called "malagolintomontorosis" infecting her with a disease that would make her "break out in spots, followed by hot and cold flushes and then violent sneezing".

Answer: In a churchyard

"Look, boy! Look! There in the churchyard." The sword was there in the stone and the young boy removed it with hardly any effort. When he returned with the sword in hand, people realised that it was the legendary sword. They returned to the churchyard and placed the sword in the stone again.

After everybody failed to remove it from the stone, young Arthur once more pulled it out. He was immediately declared King of England.
