I don't personally think it'd make sense if your soul could morph around something just because you're holding it. Armor, maybe, but only because that stays within a couple inches of your skin. Stretching 6 feet to envelop a giant scythe? I doubt it.

No offense intended. I don't mean to hammer your idea into pieces, but it just doesn't make sense to me. While I would tend to agree it is conceptually a bad way to use it, it is the way Aura was presented by Rooster teeth, Aura extends over the weapon to sharpen it(or at least allow a sharper edgethat actually strikes the target instead of the blade).

This is also a common way similar abilities(ki and weapon magics) are used in other anime/manga, which RWBY was designed to be.
