to be fair, that sword is basically the only major weapon to have no apparent complexity of mechanism for transforming. Even with this in mind I find myself hard pressed to come up with something it could actually do.

Ozpin's death though... mentors always get themselves killed off. it's an occupational hazard. Though I'm suprised that, even with it being so predictable, they actually decided to reveal it without a spoiler.
