Advanced Sword Mastery. After getting to this point and creating two Sword Skills, the progress went back to a crawl. It's not even halfway yet and I still have no idea what will happen after creating all five.

For all I know, it might complete the awakening process of the Willful Sword's consciousness. But what would happen if I chose to change my sword? Do I have to wait until a new consciousness manifested on the new sword or it has a more simple explanation for it?

As of now, I still don't know and honestly, it's not something I really paid attention to. I'm currently satisfied at how the sword converse with me and it could still cut through a Transcendents' back. Perhaps it was because it was tempered from that lightning and the properties it managed to absorb. However, apart from partly using those properties such as the lightning and the darkness aura, nothing outstanding or worth the attention could be picked up from it.
