i'll fix the first part about his arm moving, i wrote most of it late at night so i was kinda expecting to have to fix it a little, surprised that's all i missed.

but with lith, the four swords all have the energy absorption/redirection as it is a quality of the metal they are made of, the armoring, core, every second 'ring' (the ones between these are wood) and all of the cutting teeth on the lances length are still this same metal the original blade was made of. the only one of the swords that loses this ability in second form is the last one as the entire weapon becomes fire rather than metal.
