TotSC is Tales of the Sword Coast - the official add-on to BG.
Chances are if you've just picked it up recently then you will have it (6 disks rather than 5 - at least in the English version).
It adds a few new locations, some interesting quests (a very tough dungeon, but worth it) and some little bonuses within the rest of the game (like adding Scimitars to the start).

Don't confuse with DSotSC - an unofficial add-on from TeamBG, which whilst quite impressive I wouldn't recommend.

I've also remembered another weapon from TotSC - Bala's Axe, which affects the target with the "miscast magic" spell - good for taking down Wizards.

I'd also comment that in BG1 magic weaponry isn't quite as important as in SOA, sometimes other items can be far more useful due to the much lower levels.
