Fighting Energy

 This resource is unique to masters of weapons and those with great fighting potential. This energy is unique because you do not recover it over a long rest. You recover it by fighting strong opponents. For every turn you are engaged in combat you gain a number of fighting energy points as described in the level-up chart. You lose all fighting energy after 1 min of not taking or dealing damage.
When your attacks hit, you deal additional damage equal to the current amount of fighting energy you have.
 For example you at 10th level according to your chart (2/25) you gain 2 per hit and can hold 25. After 2 turns you will deal 4 additional damage whenever you hit for the duration.

Weapon Imprinting Form

 As a bonus action you may expend 5 fighting energy to imprint on a weapon for as long as you maintain at least 1 fighting energy. An imprinted weapon may not be knocked from your hand and if thrown will return to you as a bonus action by flying through the air in your direction, this does not deal damage though and cannot go around corners. Your attacks while in this form are considered magical for the sake of overcoming resistance. you may maintain this on as many weapons as you like.
Additionally, you may gain an extra fighting energy point for every enemy you slay in this form.

Weapon Merger Form

 As a bonus action you may expend 10 fighting energy to become one with your weapon. Metaphorically not physically. For as long as you maintain at least 1 fighting energy you may gain advantage on one attack per turn, and heal for the 1/4 the damage done by attacks with your chosen weapon. Your attacks while in this form are considered magical for the sake of overcoming resistance.
 This form costs 1 fighting energy per turn to maintain if you reach 0 fighting energy the ability ends. 
 Additionally, you may gain an extra fighting energy point for every instance you take damage in this form.

Will To Fight

 If during combat your hit points are reduced to 0 you may immediately take one turn maintaining conscienceness. During this turn, your fighting energy is 0. If you kill the source of your death you may regain 1 HP and continue fighting, however, every time you do this you gain a level of exhaustion. 

Weapon Control Form

 As a bonus action, you may expend 15 fighting energy to take control of up to 15 weapons of your chosen type within 30 ft. As long as you maintain 1 fighting energy, each turn each one may make 1 attack using half your attack modifier on any creature within your range.
 This form costs 1 fighting energy per weapon controlled per turn. 
 Additionally, you gain an extra fighting energy point every time you miss an attack in this form.

Soul Strike

 As an action, you may expend 1 or more fighting energy to attack once with your soul in the shape of your chosen weapon. This is wielded like your chosen weapon but may not be thrown it deals 1d4 force damage per fighting energy expended on it. Hitting an enemy like this grants one fighting energy point.

Saintly Ambition

 The world adores weapon masters but none more than the swordmaster. If your chosen weapon is the sword you are awarded with the Ultimate class known as the sword saint. If your chosen weapon is something else you are awarded the following ability.
 World-class form: By expending 49 fighting energy you may attack every enemy you are aware of within your dash range, even if they are flying or you would be unable to reach them. Every enemy killed this way gives you one fighting energy point.
