Direct blessing from a Deity to an individual creature or a specific item. If creature then whatever weapon the creature wields will gain the benefit. If Item the weapon will work better when used to do the gods bidding, and less if not.
Standard magic items, the properties are fused into the weapon.
Individuals Faith makes the weapon magical and gives properties, normal weapon for everyone else but the individual(s) believing in it.
Gem magic items have empty gem slots that different gems can be put into to create different effects.
A Magic weapon is a Masterwork weapon with 1-3 gem slots placed around usually near the hilt where they don't get damaged so easily. The weapon itself detects as magical but does not gain any magical properties save overcoming damage resistance magic. The gems themselves are not magical, but must be shaped correctly and inscribed with runes.
