I've seen ally Spirits used as swords before. We ruled that as long as it
was manifested as a sword it would do normal sword damage. Though it was
able to do this damage on the astral as well due to it being a spirit. The
thing probibly would have turned into Highlander Sword (reach behind the
back and pull out a sword where you KNEW there wasn't one before.) if the
campaign hadn't ended soon after. My, was that a long time ago..
