This Codex is for classes or types of magic weapons, rather than specific items. These are not 'one of a kind' items. These are enchantments that are 'common' in the magic community (or were common at one time), so you will encounter a number of these weapons.
Codex introduction
Examples:
Firey swords, Heart Bows, Soul Blades, and so on.
Magic/Cursed Properties
Let us try to go beyond the simple pluses to hit and damage.

Weapon at hand
A pilgrim's protection, an assassin's friend, a weapon of no great power. A weapon of surprise. -
Wvyrn Claw
Some might call it a clawed glove. That would be Anthrocentric. It, and items like it, are magic weapons for being that use magic and do not use weapons, but use their claws. The Clawed Races uses these "claws" to enhance their natural combative ability. -
Kerchief Blade
This discreet and stylishly concealable weapon is quite capable of cleaning up its own mess. -
Blood Seekers
Blood Seekers are a class or type of mystical weapons. Like many mystic weapons, they provide the user increased speed and technique. Unlike most weapons, these can strike their specific targets with astonishing accuracy for they target the very blood of a living thing. -
BlackHearts
Elegant weapons from a more elegant age. Their mystic power is woven from the ancient dueling code. While not the most powerful enchantments ever created, they are some of the most respected. -
Notcher
A shield of odd design, created not only to parry, but to destroy the foe's ability to attack. -
Sarvas Sword
A classical enchanted weapon... -
Cruaunte Sword
This sword is unique, made only for the Merchant Prince of [insert city] and his loyal band of mercenaries. The Cruaunte is a hand and a half sword, capable of being used with one or two hands, and from horseback or on foot. Thus, the merchant can save both time and money equipping his men with a universally usefull weapon. -
The Kamuinji Sabre
A long sword with a curved light steel-like blade and a ruby inlaid into the pommel of the swords hilt. Used by the greatest of Warriors to vanquish their foes, be them good or evil. -
Sun Swords of The Blades of the Golden Sun
These are the traditional honor weapons of the legendary Blades of the Golden Sun. It is with these weapons that they defended the Imperial Realm from the Taint of Shadow. Or so some say. -
Interesting Battle Sashes
The tradition of Battle Sashes is only a century or two old. It started in Celedor by the River, but it has been adopted in every part of the WestLands. Given the presence of blood, spirit and honor, it was only a matter of time until magic became involved. -
Anodyne Sword
To Remove All Pain Etching on the blade of the Anodyne Sword -
Singing Knives
LLorryn of Rydlin crafted charms and magic items over his lifetime. All are known for his trademark, the ringing sound caused by the magic flowing through them. While bards have granted fame to his thirteen Singing blades, among warriors and weaponsmiths, he is best known for his "singing knives". -
Wassunja
A magic weapon common among the Orcish tribes -
30 Swords
30 groups of magical swords

Recently unearthed this gem of mine, and thought to post it. Its writing predates my joining of Strolen, and I found quite a few interesting bits in it. It is n…

Swords. Why does it always have to be swords?
Excalibur. Stormbringer. Sting. I blame fantasy authors and history professionals that have over simplified things for this preoccupation with swords.

Ah, great! We need a codex for this kind of thing!
It seems the Citadel V2 will cover many of the areas I felt lacking in V1 =)
A nice one stop shopping network. This is nice and another one of Moons great ideas to compress all the submissions into similar details. Wonderful idea.
This is great. I love the underdog ideas. This is not over powered and can not be misused due to those powers. It is simple, basic, and a completely smart idea. The assassin or pilgrams friend.
Useful for smuggling weapons and other forbidden stuff through Customs.
This needs to be added to and expanded more.
Feel free to do so. I just added a generic combat item today (not quite a weapon), but still. All it takes is a few ideas and some time to impliment them.
Bumping, as this could be a possible Quest aid :)
If there was a sufficiently obvious single-word descriptor for classesofweapon, then a freetext would work here, but as it stands this is a good collection of subs.
