Ideas for NOVA or SAO

So I had a few ideas for the games.

1: Give weapons a certain skill, for example you have a dagger and that dagger has a skill named shadow dagger. This will let the shadow of the dagger attack too. The skill will only work for a limited time and it won't be useable for a certain amount of time. Another example is you have something like lightning on your weapon. This will lightning will spread when you attack an enemy.

2: A line of quests. So here you have like 5 quests in a row with different choices and if you pick the right ones you will get a higher reward.

3: ( Secret ) duo quests. So what I had in mind of this is when you are with someone and you get a quest for you guys. It will be a line of quests just like above, but when your'e halfway through you get the opportunity to betray your quest buddy, and fight him too get all the rewards. And maybe if you both deny to betray you will get an even higher reward.

Remember these are just some ideas. I want to know your thoughts on this.

I really like the weapons with embedded skills. The others okay, but I don't feel strongly one way or the other

I really like the first one
number 2 is good as well but i don't know about the last one.. i feel like this quest would destroy many friendships^^

Be more creative with the 1st one. The shadow of the dagger? That really doesn't make much sense to be honest. And some thing like lightning should be singular. Though a good start to ideas.

The Warrior(s) Of Sunlight praise and worship the sun, and it is said they use the power of the sun to grant them strength and extra-ordinary abilities. These abilities could be passive weapon abilities, such as a sword carrying a passive ability of Lightning... Which would cause a burn / electrifying feeling upon impact with the enemy / player.

This is a great example pulled from SAO of Eugene's sword, the Salamander General

"This large, two-handed crimson great sword features the unique ability of «Ethereal Shift» (エセリアルシフト, Eseriaru Shifuto?), which allows it to phase through objects such as swords or shields in order to hit its target. Although this ability is an enormous advantage against inferior weapons such as Kirito's «Black Iron Great Sword», it has its limitations, namely that it cannot pass through separate objects in a quick succession. Kirito uses this to his advantage to defeat Eugene by borrowing Leafa's sword to make use of his experience of dual wielding, as Gram could not pass through both weapons at once. "

These were just small ideas, so other people might get better ones.

I'd love something with some kind of teleport ability. Like "The Dagger of Shadowwalking". Maybe you could say a voice command and be teleported to the closest piece of land, within a set distance, in the exact center of wherever you're looking (kind of like blink in dishonored). It could also have a cooldown time, to prevent overuse, which could be seen in the color/glow of the gem in the blade's hilt.

It would be better if it only worked in Shadows persay. With every ability or move, there should be a finite reason as to why it does so. As I stated before you could have a blade that has a lightning attack, which would only work if present to a sun or a massive energy source.

Shadowwalking was more of a fancy term for teleportation (i could use lore to say you're traveling through a shadow relm or something) and the energy comes from the gem in the hilt, which is infused with magic (like the crystals the characters in the anime used to heal themselves). That's why the glow of the gem is used to show cooldown time. The more magic energy the gem has, the more it glows. But, you're right, I probably should have explained that beforehand.
