list of sentient weapons.
Having a long tradition stemming from ancient mythology, religious beliefs and to modern fiction a sentient weapon is a weapon that displays signs of having self-awareness and or a will of its own. It's mind source can be from any of a number of origens including a haunting ghost or demon,an imprint from a previous owners own spirit, an artificial intelligence created by science, magic or superscience, an organic brain, or a mind-transfer from another already sentient creature. The weapons themselves can be as diverse as the imaginations of the storyteller but seem to fit in a number of categories as listed here.
to be considered for this list the applicant must have be intended to be used as a weapon at its inception.
