Alexei's Weapon: Synth [Done]

Chaostothemax wrote:Name: Synth
Rank: Weak
Type: A shortsword.
Description: It looks like a normal shortsword, with a leather-bound hilt and a normal steel blade - the only real discerning feature is the relative dullness of the steel, which Alexei did to prevent the glimmer from giving away his position. It is also heavier than a normal sword of it's type. (I will need a longer description for this, at least 150 words. Also i would like you to add an exact length and weight to the sword. Preferably length in feet and weight in pounds.)
Strengths: The blade is much denser than a normal steel shortsword, allowing for Alexei's Steelshift magic to manipulate the shape to a much greater extent than normal. The higher density also makes it harder to break. (Could you bullet point all of your strengths, the code is [list*][/list]. Without the * behind the list. Also you need a minimum of 3 strengths.)
Weaknesses: Like most shortswords, it suffers from a short reach. Also, because it is heavier than a normal sword of its type, it is not as nimble and agile. (Again, please bullet point the weaknesses, with the same code. You need one more weakness than strength.)
Abilities: A much higher density of metal within the blade than usual, allowing for greater manipulation with Steelshift and greater durability of the blade. (I can allow this, but it can't block strong weapons still and as it's still a weak weapon, it can't resist spells. You can say it's a little stronger than other weak weapons, in terms of durability.)
