I guess in my world, when a tool is used a lot, or treated with love and care, it develops a soul or spirit of its own. There are sages called Saniwa who are able to take those souls and create human bodies for them.
It's mostly just weapons, but the same probably happens to other objects, I think? Like, if you wrote a lot of haiku with a specific writing tool?
But even though I have a human body, I still have my real body in the form of my sword. So I guess I just wield myself in combat. That part might be unusual.
[ It's unusual to even share this!! He's so used to being careful not to even be seen on his missions, but in this world with people from so many histories and realities, he's come to feel like keeping it a secret isn't so important. Plus, his partner literally blurted out what they were their first day here, so... ]
Having a transformation ability tied to your family still sounds a lot more interesting to me, though.
