I stared intensively at my sword once I summoned it back into my sheath.

It seemed to have gained a soul now, but it couldn't really speak, or anything of that sort. It merely stood there and overflowed with energy. I quickly unsheathed it as we walked downstairs, looking at the blade with fascination. My friends looked at me with weird faces, wondering what's gotten into me out of the sudden.
Hehehe, I guess they cannot tell how powerful my sword has become now! Though… seeing how many materials it has been used on it, I had hoped it would have higher stats than this, nonetheless, it still pretty good.
"Wait, now that the sword has a soul, can I form a Familiar Contract with it?" I asked Alice.
"Just try it if you think it might work." Alice said.
"Alright…" I concentrated my mind and then tried to make a Contract, extending the force of my soul into my sword.
F L A A A S H!
The sword easily accepted my soul's threads, melding them with its own soul.
Ding!
[You've formed a [Familiar Contract] with [Scarlet, the Living Magic Sword]!]
It worked as easy as it could! Now my own sword is my Familiar, this is pretty insane. I can now enchant it with my Mana even more easily, and also channel spiritual power and elemental power into it just as easier as well.
"Sylphy what was that light just now?" Aquarina reacted to what I was doing, feeling surprised and taken aback by the series of bizarre events.
"Yeah, did you sword grew larger out of the blue?" Zack was curious.
"Err… Well, I kind of just discovered it had some extra magical perks, that's all. It has grown stronger for sure. Maybe it has some sort of power." I said, acting as if I wasn't so sure what was going on myself.
"But what was that glow though?" Celeste asked while raising an eyebrow.
"I felt like my Mana and even my soul was connected to the sword… Perhaps the creations of the Witch of the Blue Mountain are more amazing than we thought." I said, giving all the responsibility to this mysterious figure we had yet to see.
"I see, my knives also feel sometimes strange, like they're absorbing my mana and growing stronger." Said Aquarina.
"I haven't felt a single thing." Said Zack.
"My spear is a Cursed Spear, it contains a phantasmal soul inside and its alive, so I am always feeding it blood, flesh, bones, leather and other materials to make her stronger. She's a very gluttonous girl." Laughed Celeste. "Be careful if your sword ever begin acting like that, it might need to be feed before it takes a bite off you."
"I-I see, I'll keep that in mind." I said while nodding.
The Cursed Spear was the only thing remaining from Celeste's life as a member of that Evil Cult, it has been checked multiple times by my parents and they found nothing wrong with it other than… well, being a cursed equipment, so they let her keep it.
After she lost the majority of her powers given by the Divine Protections of the Evil Gods, she has been growing stronger in her own ways through effort and well, this Cursed Spear too, which is now one of her greatest sources of strength.
For now, I should check out Scarlet's Skills to know better what each one does… Although they seem rather self-explanatory through their names alone, there's nothing wrong with being attentive to details, right?

[Living Sword: Lv1]
A Living Sword is a Sword that possess a Soul, and has the power to constantly grow, evolve, and develop. Although its will is small, it will develop over time as it experiences new things and grows stronger. By receiving Mana from its master, the Sword's stats can temporarily increase by +10% with each Skill Level. The Soul Grows larger and smarter with each of the user's levels.
-----
[Elemental Absorption: Lv1]
A Magic Sword most basic capability, by channeling the elemental properties of the master's magic, it is possible to unleash them and imbue the weapon with such elements, increasing total physical damage and elemental damage dealt by +30% with an additional +10% with each Skill Level. Additionally, grants Elemental Properties to offensive Skills and increases resistance to the element it has been imbued with.
-----
[Material Assimilation: Lv1]
A Special Ability that only very unique Living Weapons possess. It grants the capability of absorbing compatible materials into the sword's body to both regenerate damage and to increase stats, or even generate new Skills. After absorbing a certain quantity of that special material, absorbing more won't give any extra benefit. Increases the chances to get Special Skills or Additional Stats when assimilating a material by +10% with each Skill Level.
-----
[Aura Blade Slash: Lv1]
By gathering Mana into the sword's blade, it is possible to unleash a powerful slash made of pure Mana Aura, which can deal an additional 50% more Damage, with an additional +15% with each Skill Level. When imbued with an element, the Aura Blade Slash's element will change to that one.
-----
These Skills were indeed amazing. The Living Sword Skills means that the sword will slowly develop a stronger will, well that's kind of a relief. And Elemental Absorption was something it already had, but it has become even stronger now that it became an actual Skill… However, amongst them all, Material Assimilation got me the most curious.
If the description is really how it works, the sword could be able to grow infinitely stronger by absorbing all sorts of materials!
Should I try it out right away?
