Your spell sends traces of your magic into the edge of a weapon and causes its physical properties to be changed in some way. Upon casting this spell, the damage type of the current weapon you're wielding instantly changes based on your chosen edge. The weapon must be capable of dealing damage and able to be placed in your inventory. You may dismiss this cantrip as a bonus action during your turn. When this cantrip is cast on a different weapon, it will immediately end the effects on the previous weapon.

Regardless of what edge is cast when you attack with this weapon, you can use your spellcasting ability modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to attack and damage rolls. The weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage (if it already isn't).
