From The Stargate Omnipedia

Designed by the Ancient Merlin to destroy ascended beings, specifically the Ori. It is an energy transfer device that channels energy into the dimension occupied by ascended beings. In theory, the weapon can destroy ascended beings by interference -- as two standing waves cancelling out one another.

Believing the weapon to be linked to Merlin's amulet, SG-1 follow the clues left by Merlin and complete hazardous tasks set by Morgan Le Fay, finally meeting the dying Ancient.

Daniel then uses the Ancient assembler to create the weapon's components.Before he can complete the weapon Daniel is captured by Adria the Orici, and is turned into a Prior.

It falls upon Vala to complete the assembly of the weapon which, it turns out, is also known as the Sangraal, using instructions left by Daniel. The weapon is then used to try and eliminate the Ori.
