Design a weapon!

I want to see what everyone can come up in terms of weapons, so let your creativity flow. Balance is recommended but not required.

Lightning blade +
MT: 12
Damage inflict by this weapon would be dealt as magic damage.

Pyrotechnic Dagger
21mt
Range 1-2 (Which includes Close Counter.)
Built in Luna effect.
Exclusive to Saizo, causes him 15 effect damage upon use(Stacks with Fury if he has it). Cannot attack if this effect would lower him to 0. Saizo cannot activate special attacks that activate by attacking(Moonbow, Sol, etc.) But can activate AoE specials (Blazing Thunder, etc.) and defensive specials (Aegis, Pavise, etc.)

Inspired by his desperate attempt to take you down in the Revelation storyline that is thwarted by an unlikely ally.

Gravity blade +
MT: 24
Unit cannot make follow-up attacks

Levin Sword/ Tempest Sword (tellius)
Legendary Weapon
Mt: 16
Range: 1
Enables counterattack regardless of distance if this unit is attacked. Damage inflicted is counted as magic damage.

Wind Sword+
Mt: 15
Range: 1
Damage inflicted is counted as magic damage.

Verrine
Legendary Weapon, exclusive to Palleas
Mt: 14
At the start of every second turn, restores unit's HP restored by number of adjacent allies x 2.

Thundersweep Tome+
Mt: 11
Unit and enemies cannot use counterattacks.

Silver Greatlance+
Mt: 18
Spd -5. Slows Special trigger (cooldown count+1).

Garm
Mt: 16
Grants adjacent allies Spd+3 through their next actions at the start of each turn.

Ivaldi
Mt: 14
Adjacent allies restore 7 HP at the start of each turn.

I had a similar idea to yours but with a red tome and one main difference:

Mire
9 MT
Range: 3
Probably uninheritable
Cannot follow-up

Just by range rules, a 3 range weapon would be unable to counter anything other than another 3 range user, however, dc/cc would still be able to counter a 3 range. Giving the Mire user cc would allow the Mire user to counter, however, that would cut back on the damage potential from better A skills.

Stone
14 Mt
Range 2
Exclusive to Tethys, Red Tome
After combat, foe inflicted with status preventing them from counterattacking.

Soldier's Knife
6 MT
Range: 2
Exclusive to Kaze
+4 Attack when initiating combat, -4 attack when unit is Attacked. Unit attacks twice when initiating combat. Enemy suffers -7 Def/Res after battle until end of foe's next action.

Dagger users typically have low attack and Kaze is no exception, +4 attack is there to mitigate this. -4 attack on enemy phase is meant to imitate the attack debuff that Soldier's knife causes after battle in Fates and balance out the weapon without decreasing Kazes best stat (Speed). It has 6 MT because legendary daggers have 5 less MT than legendary melee weapons (11MT deathly dagger), and Legendary brave weapons also have 5 less MT than legendary weapons (11MT Amiti) so Legendary Brave Dagger 16-5=11 -5=6MT.

Mmmm...if Elincia's Amiiti is any indication, that equation for legendary Brave weapons doesn't quite work.

I honestly really like this idea, and it gives Kaze more of a role as a glass canon with Soldier's Knife. The only tweaks I'd suggest is a -2 spd while potentially changing the -4 atk when defending to -2 decrease and a decrease to the debuff (somewhere around -5 def/res). The weapon seems to be built around simply killing things, and as a brave weapon it still should have a mild drawback.

This would still allow him to be quite powerful while not too much so, and stay true to the player phase unit he seems to be theorycrafted to be.

Personally, I think the mt difference is ok given the fact that it's patched up in the +4 when initiating especially as it's balanced with a bad enemy phase, though a flat -5 mt at base is debatable given the damage proportions of swords compared to daggers.

Wary Sword/Axe/Lance; 5 Might, speed -7. Unit attacks twice in rapid succession when attacked.

Basically a reverse brave weapon, lower might and worse speed because it will inevitably be stacked with either Vantage or Quick Riposte.

Giant Spoon+

Welp. I tried to make every weapon as balanced as possible. Weapons with "+" sign behind their names can be inherited.
