I GOT IT! CHECK IT OUT! 

She has a crest on the back of her glove that can cycle through abilities that last for 30 seconds. They can be changed/swapped instantly but the same one cannot be used back to back. The Crest glows gold and the "J" changes to a symbol representing the ability (I'm going with column 1 for now) while it is active. When holding the sword, the blade glows gold as well and adopts those properties, though it isn't necessary for the buffs. 

For example, "Evade" lets Amie run and dodge faster as a person. When applied to the sword, the sword moves faster and can attack more in a shorter period of time. I'll try to explain them better later.

Oh, and the ability names spell her family name.
