first off, you need to work on grammar, like, a lot. I'm pretty terrible about it myself, but I put forth a specific effort to make my characters and weapons readable.

second, when you say 'throw crescent sword beams' I assume you mean 'fire aura blades using the weapon as a channeling device'

thirdly, extending into a sword would be second form. also, where in the hell do the dust crystal come from? those are rigid, so they can't fold up like the rest of the weapon. we've got some pretty ridiculous collapsable wapons, but they are almost purely mechanical and have no attached dust elements.

fourth; REMOVE THE FUCKING GRIMM RELATED SEMBLANCE. sorry, but there's no nice way to say that, at least, not one that would get the point across. the ONLY character that any of us have created so far that could 'control' grimm was my completely and specifically OP reality-glitch main villain Solace, and then it isn't even really control. he's just so damned powerfull Grimm end to ignore everything that isn't him because of the amount of negativity he puts off.

Actually, no, my second arc-villain, Vadasz, has a pet King Taijitu, but that's a special case. he has no mystical ability that lets him control it, it's just scared of him. also, he keeps it well fed.

back on topic, one cannot absorb grimm, they are, as pyrrha put it 'manifestations of anonymity' they have no substance and no soul. when Grimm die, they fade away into nothingness within minutes. So, once again, REMOVE THE SEMBLANCE AND PICK SOMETHING BETTER.

can't say much about the fighting style. although I could have sworn it was spelled penchak silat...

upgrades:

So, the blade didn't lengthen mechanically before? what did it to, come to life and straighten out on its own? Logic, people, use it.

In addition to everything else, you want it to be a ballistic knife? you already have a ranged function (the dust/aura or whatever sword beams,) so why in the hell would you want to waste time shooting out the blade and then having to reload it in the middle of a fight?

given how many moving parts we've seen can be cramed together using folding-frambe technology, I don't think you need a second weapon to combine them into a greatsword, just give the one kriss a fuckton of internal components that can expand into a lbroadsword and then a greatsword. My character Korthan's sword has 5 different forms, one of which puts the buster sword to shame. unless, of course, you have a specific reason for wanting to give him 2 weapons or his primary fighting style, such as with the weapons Ira and Pieta (a sword and dagger, the dagger is used for parrying while the sword is used for striking) that combine into a halberd (for more powerful attacks at medium range) that belong to one of my other characters.

overall: 6/10. (I gave you 2 extra points for the potential the weapon has.)

fix it and then I'll take another look. nah i gave up on harimau perak i will give this another shot with a different idea
