Vassal Weapons

Vassal Weapons resemble Legendary Weapons. Like the Legendary Weapons, each Vassal Weapons possess and hold a unique colored gem that resides in their weapon. Though the Vassal Weapons are less superior to the Legendary Weapons they make up for it by having fewer restriction than the Legendary Weapons.

In Raphtalia' world, these weapons are referred to as the Seven Star Weapons (七星武器 Shichiseibuki?) and those who obtain these weapons are granted the title of Seven Star Hero.

It is later revealed the true names of these weapons are Vassal Weapons (眷属器 Kenzokuki?) and those who hold these weapons are given the title of Vassal Weapons Wielders.

Legends
The original owners of the Vassal Weapons were summoned from another world similar to the Four Legendary Heroes. But unlike the Legendary Weapons, Vassal Weapons do not disappear after their original owners is deceased. Instead, they choose to roam the world in search of a new candidate to wield them.

This means Vassal Weapons can be wielded by anyone who shows potential.

Origins
The origins of the Vassal Weapons are still unknown. It is speculated that they are connected to the Legendary Weapons and the origin of the world.

By-pass
Vassal Weapons do not repel each other by nature like the Legendary Weapons. They can freely gain experience when near other Vassal Weapons and Legendary Weapons.

Legendary Heroes and Vassal Wielders by-pass the 100 level limit and do not require class-ups when they reach a certain level.

Both are immune to curse slave seals.

Restrictions
Vassal Weapons restrict the user from equipping any other weapon asides from their designated weapon.

Translate
Vassal Weapons automatically translate any language the user hears verbally to the user's most known and preferred language, the user's voice is also translated automatically to others around the user. However, this does not apply to written languages such as words and symbol written down.

The Vassal Weapons' Translate ability can also be granted to the user's companions.

(It is unknown whether or not that Legendary Weapons share this ability)

Absorption
Vassal Weapons have the ability to absorb monster loot, material and items. This allows the weapon to unlock new variations of itself.

Weapon Copy

Vassal Weapons have the ability to copy different variations of the same weapon thus unlocking them.

Weapon transformation
Vassal Weapons have the ability to transform into different shapes, forms and variations through the use of Absorption. Different variations of the weapon grant the user when equipped new equip bonuses which grants them new stats, skills and abilities.

Passive abilities
Different variations of Vassal Weapons can be mastered. Mastering them will allow the user to keep the equip bonuses effect permanently even if they transform their weapon into a different variation.

Strengthening Method
Vassal Weapons each have a unique strengthing method they all hold.

Strengthing Methods can be shared with Legendary Heroes and other Vassal Wielders. The Strengthing Method won't work or appear for others unless they truly believe the Strengthing Method is real.

Traveling
Vassal Weapons have the unique ability to freely travel between other worlds, the user of the weapon can also bring companions with them. Legendary Weapons, however, do not possess this ability and they also restrict the user from traveling to other worlds (however this can be bypassed on certain conditions).

Vassal Wielders have shown to use this ability for numerous of reasons.

One of these reasons is for the use of invading other worlds where their objective is to kill the Four Legendary Heroes that reside in the other world allowing them to save their home. Successfully eliminating the Four Legendary Heroes should save their own home but at the cost of destroying another world.

Vassal Wielders have also been shown to travel to other worlds to stop Vassal Wielders from their own world from causing havoc such as taking control of a Guardian Beast from another world.

Vassal Wielders can also escape from their own world when it's at the brink of destruction. Though their Vassal Weapons might cause them to go faulty after successfully escaping.

Vassal Communication
Vassal Weapons can communicate with their owner. Vassal Weapons will occasionally give orders to their owner and it is the Vassal Wielders's job to follow their order through.

One case was when a Vassal Wielders went rogue and cause havoc. Vassal Wielders were ordered to seek and eliminate the rogue Vassal Wielder.
