Well, a spiked flail isn't really a real life weapon, but that makes sense.

The length of the shaft would make it near impossible to have an appropiate length without sacrificing some level of durability, and makes the weapon visually confusing. I don't quite feel comfortable with the mace to sword transition because I feel that it would be too much blade stored in the mace.

Honestly? I would just take the sword form out. With the polearm, you already have a lightweight stabber, and the mace provides portability, so there is no real reason to include the sword and overcomplicate the weapon, unless for cutting or roleplay reasons.

If you wanted to cut with your sword, however, your blade should be more curved.
