Future Weaponry Plan(s)

Given Max’s usual flare, I’m to make it obvious that his weapons are meant to mirror just that. For example, his explosive Herald of War, a great-sword with a built-in motor for devastating swings. Or a pencil. Anyway, I’ve been running a little dry on clever ideas, but asked one of my closest friends whom I love dearly, and he promptly came up with this:

The sword resembles the one in the picture, but can split vertically to make to thinner, one-hooked blades. Imbued with magic from the town’s Shaman (who puts magic on all his other weapons), the split can be done manually or remotely via chant. This split is extremely forceful, and can dislocate the average human’s shoulders if gripping the sword(s) while they split. It must be used carefully, unless you’re bold enough like Max to use the force as a weapon. One instance of this includes splitting the sword after the conjoined blade has been shoved into one’s chest. I’ll let your imagination fill in the rest.
