So could use some ideas. I have a player getting their fully upgraded form of their current sentient weapon. I've been kinda basing it off Bleach a little with how it works. The name of the sword is Silver Riata. In its fully awakened state I kind of want it to act like a bankai and become something really cool looking for him. The weapon itself is a longsword that can turn into a whip (similar to Renji's from bleach). I kinda of need a way for him to call out the form (like a bankai phrase for him to say to unlock the form when he wants) and I am looking for some kinda form ideas of what it could look like.
I'd definitely recommend asking the player what they want to shout when they / the weapon transforms. Leaving the magic phrase to the players is always more fun IMO.
Are you only looking for description, or do you want different mechanics as well? If you want description, what would help us is to explain what it looked like to start, and what it looks like now (if anything has changed). Also I know you said you're basing it off Bleach, but what about the player? What's the PC's vibe who wields the weapon?

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?

I've got a player that will come up with fantastic magical words for spells and magic items that really sound like he's taking the verbal component to heart. However he's also got one magic item that's basically an if all else fails break glass magical bomb and the activation phrase he settled on was "**** this shit"

Well so far the player has been pretty good with the blade thus far. Also since it is bleach themed I figured it would be up to the blade (since it sentient) to come up with the phrase (since in bleach it's saying the true name of the blade).
I'm also trying to think of a bankai type mechanic to make the blade and the user one.
The players character has a military mindset, was part of a secret task for until he was betrayed. He now travels with people he considers friends and family and it has kinda loosen his mindset and temperament. The pc is a bloodhunter/paladin
The sword who just got it's memories back figured out that it was forged to protect the material plane from other planar threats. Fey, demons, etc from outside the material plane will fall before her might.
I'm just trying to figure out how that may work.
