The legacy sword

How it works
This magical short sword, gains power as it is used and then passes those powers on to its next wielder. The sword only has magi if the wielder in under a certain level caps. If the wielder's level is too high it functions as a regular short sword, loosing all benefits.

When the sword is gifted or bought, by/to a new owner, 2 things happen, the maximum level of the wielder before the magic goes inert goes up by 1, and the sword gains new abilities based on how it was used by ts previous wielder.

If for some reason the sword is stolen, the previous owner must be dead, but for less than a year and a day, for the sword to be atunable. If the previous owner died it reverts to its base form
