@Tony: Technically speaking, if the sword is the "space itself", then it cannot also be a physical sword... Not in the conventional sense anyway. And since you mention Vicente / Vincent's sword, it should be noted that this sword can be and often is stored in a book. This appears to be something one cannot do with physical weapons even in the Tower, considering it would essentially render the bulkier and heavier arms inventories (i.e., mainly pipes and carriers) obsolete...

Maybe this is how Arie can handle their swords, maybe these particular swords are special and they couldn't do the same things with a normal sword...

EDIT: "Obviously, his sword does exist." => No one in the entire discussion doubts the existence of these swords, what brought this up? o_O

@Grz: As for the swords changing hands, there is nothing in the theory to prevent this. Just as I speculate that they learn how to "become one with the sword", they should also learn how to "separate from the sword"...
