You might also want to check out the Demons in GodWars - they are able to transform themselves into rather good weapons. While in weapon form they can also jump into (or out of) peoples hands, and cast spells.
It was quite amusing when they were first introduced - I was playtesting a demon and helping a newbie, by casting spells on his opponents and healing him (as a sword). Another player saw this and decided that he just HAD to have that wonderful new weapon, so he killed the newbie. He was rather surprised when the sword then jumped out of the newbie's corpse, transformed into a huge demon, hacked him up, then transformed back into a sword and leapt back into the corpse!
Once people got used to them, they worked fairly well. It was a power that wouldn't be used often - but occasionally a powerful demon PC would bully weaker demons into acting as his weapons for a particularly dangerous fight.
