Name: Gift of Life

Nen Type: Special

Does: This nen technique has the ability to make either weapons or armor type things sapient. This gives them the status of being alive and allows them to ba able to grow. Like every so often it will become more powerful and either grant its user a defense value against certain things, like poison, fire, ice, lightning, etc. or a increased attack of that element. Maybe even having the possibility to add such things as 'Damage against Undead/Dragons/Gods/etc.' or even increasing the user's strength, agility, durability or tactics. It might even, if it is a hat, increase skills like Performance, cooking, gardening or other skills. I got the idea from the Elona Omake Overhaul freeware game where you occassionally find a living weapon. I've found three so far, but when I leveled up the weapon shop I managed to find a few interesting ones there that can be bought.

Limitations - I'm making it have three or more limitatiosn

1. Since the weapon has a mind of its own it might choose not to grant the user/owner their power should.

2. Sometimes, if the character isn't as powerful as the weapon/armor, it may backfiire and cause problems, like ice  resistance being grannted by warming the body making you get nasty sunburns that scar you for life, the intelligence boon may accidentally drive a character insane until they learn to properly use the weapon or a nen user removes the 'curse' from them. Boosted stgrength from a weapon could break bones which might cripple a person who isn't used to using the weapon/armor.

3. The sword may try to start fights by pretending to be the character and yelling at another nen user in hopes of gaining enough residue nen from the fight to 'level up' and gain a new power/boon. This can cause problems if the person is stronger and the user is incapable of properly combating the enemy.
