Wave weapon at English article written by bard (13)
I believe the answer is:
shakespearean
'wave weapon at english' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'article written by bard' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'written by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bard' becomes 'shakespeare' (I've seen this before).
'an' after 'shakespeare' is 'SHAKESPEAREAN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shakespearean that I've seen before include "Water" , "Student of the Bard" .)
