What exactly do I need for "magic weapons" it talks about --- I don't think I have any....

In my experience, the best way to take care of a Pretender holed up in his capital is to domkill him. Park a medium army to trap him, take all his other territories, then pile on priests to preach. When he runs out of dominion, he vanishes, and you can take the empty castle.

Domkill takes a while, but if you have the time... and sitting on his capital gives you a lot of breathing room
