I think that it will turn out to be a bit like an aesegi, a spear that can double as a slightly-impractical sword. The traditional aesegi (used by the Goths and developed independently in a near-identical form by the Zulus) could have its shaft broken off so it's long blade could be used as a sword. I think that Magnospear has a telescopic shaft; notice when Pyrrha was on her starting plate, you couldn't see the back of the shaft, I think it was retracted. I think, in close-quarters combat, she can collapse the shaft and use it as a sword.

I also think that Dust Crystals can be loaded into it to generate special effects. The spear-point definitely didn't seem to penetratate the locker side, that suggests it has a magnetic 'attach' mode, possibly combined with a tow cable attached to the bottom of the shaft.
