A type of Status Buff spell seen in some RPGs that temporarily imbues the user's weapon with magic, letting them deal out elemental damage or cause Status Effects with their attacks. Among other uses, this is one method to create a Flaming Sword. Usually a preferred tactic of the Magic Knight.
See also Item Crafting, which lets you permanently add effects like these to a weapon. Not to be confused with Elemental Crafting, Elemental Weapons, or Socketed Equipment. Compare and contrast Item Amplifier, Poisoned Weapons, The Magic Touch and Elemental Punch.

In Master of Magic, units built in a city with an alchemist's guild built will have magic weapons that have an attack bonus and can hit noncorporeal things. There's also the spell "Eldritch Weapon" which gives a unit magic weapons. Cities with access to mithril or adamantium and an alchemist's guild built produce units with mithril or adamantium weapons, which work similarly but have a higher bonus. The spell "Flame Blade" makes a unit's weapons deal more damage.

Kirby:
In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby can mix the Sword ability with either Spark, Fire, or Ice to make the Elemental Sword abilities, done so by either mixing the Copy Ability Bubbles in Kirby's stomach or inhaling both enemies that give those Copy abilities. However, this is an unlockable ability that Kirby gets from collecting the Sword Ability Scroll from a treasure chest. Bomb can do the same, but only with Spark and Ice, since the normal version already counts as Fire for environmental effects.
In Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and his recruited allies can infuse weapon-type Copy abilities (like Sword and Ninja) with the elemental-type Copy abilities, creating the Sizzle, Splash, Zap, Bluster, and Blizzard weapons, enhancing the damage the weapons can do and allowing them to perform special interactions with certain obstacles and enemies.

This ability is a trademark of Shamans in World of Warcraft, used to improve a weapon's melee speed, spellcasting power, or healing power.
Expanded upon in Cataclysm, where Shamans gained the Unleash Weapon (which can now also be extended to Unleash Fury at level 90) spell, which activated certain effects depending on the currently active weapon enchants.

In Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance, the Magic Knights gain these alongside the regular Sword-skills from Weapon Mastery, and are counted separately. (Example — learning Blade Rush gives access to a Flaming Slash variant). Although they had skills named after this trope in Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, they really were more of a regular attack, followed up by a casting of that elemental spell (which is more of an on-command version of their random class action from the first game.)

In Grim Dawn, nearly every class can enchant their weapons with a specific damage type, although a character might use a gun just as easily as they do a sword. Shamans get lightning, Demolitionists and Oathkeepers get fire (and Oathkeepers can swap the fire for acid if they take a certain offshoot skill), Occultists get Chaos and Vitality, Soldiers get Elemental (a sort of All Your Powers Combined between Fire, Ice, Lightning), Nightblades get Ice, and Inquisitors get a randomly-selected magicked bullet.

Yami Sukehiro in Black Clover is the leader of the group of Magic Knights known as the Black Bulls. His magically affinity is Dark Magic, a form of magic notoriously slow to cast. To compensate for this, he mainly relies on his sword, using his magic as a means of reinforcing his strikes and shielding himself by absorbing the brunt of magical attacks (which fortunately in this world is almost all attacks).

Slayers:
One of the Sword of Light's capabilities is that it can absorb spells cast at or blocked by it, and be used to deliver them point blank for massive damage. In the hands of a spellcaster these properties can also be used to stabilise hard-to-cast spells, which Lina has taken advantage of when casting Giga Slave.
The Astral Vine spell temporarily charges an object with magical energy so that it can hurt mazoku — it's frequently used by Zelgadis to enhance his sword. Amelia invented a similar spell, Visfarank, which affects the caster's hands and feet.

Pathfinder, being based on Dungeons & Dragons 3.5, shares most of its examples. The magus class combines duskblade-style spell channeling with the ability to grant temporary enchantments to its weapon. Paladins and warpriests can also give their own weapons temporary enhancements, as can bards with the Arcane Duelist archetype and inquisitors with the Living Grimoire archetype. The Spell Warrior archetype for the skald class can grant temporary enchantments to the weapons of several allies by song, as can high-level Arcane Duelist bards.

Dungeons & Dragons:
The arcane spell "Magic Weapon" and "Greater Magic Weapon" which enchant a weapon with a +x to attack/damage. A druid can do the same thing to natural weapons (claws, etc.) with the "Magic Fang" line of spells. Other spells exist to bless a weapon (for fighting evil creatures), turn it into a specific metal (such as silver to fight lycanthropes), or even turn it into Pure Energy that passes through non-living material like armor. Psionics gets in on the action with "Metaphysical Weapon/Claw" and "Weapon/Claws of Energy".
Also the "Mighty Wallop" line of spells, which make bludgeoning weapons hit as if they're x times bigger than the actually are.
The artificer's "Weapon Augmentation" infusion does this, allowing him to temporarily imbue a weapon with the abilities of any magical weapon.
The paladin spell "Holy Sword" and the Eberron cleric spell "Heroes' Blade" turn a sword into a holy blade for a ton of bonuses and awesomeness.
The duskblade takes a different approach, with the ability to cast spells on enemies as they strike them with their weapons. The arcane archer and enlightened fist Prestige Classes get more limited versions based on arrows and fists respectively.
Many of the spells cast by 4e's Swordmage are at least flavored this way.
Fifth Edition retains the Magic Weapon spell and also adds Elemental Weapon (a slightly higher level version of Magic Weapon that adds elemental damage of the caster's choice to successful hits), the various Smite spells that inflict different types of damage on a hit and also add a status effect, the Paladin's Divine Smite ability that lets them burn a spell slot in order to add significant Radiant damage to a successful hit, and the Divine Strike ability of some Clerics that lets them add a damage type based on their cleric domain to melee attacks.

World of Mana:
Secret of Mana has various "Saber" spells used by Primm, which can be used not only on her, but her allies as well. There is one Saber spell for 6 out of the 8 elemental spirits, excluding Shade (whose magic Primm can't use) and Dryad (who gets the plot-important Mana Magic instead). In addition to letting the affected character's physical attacks do elemental damage, the Saber spells often have a secondary effect, like freezing (Ice Saber), igniting (Flame Saber), or petrifying enemies (Stone Saber), increasing critical hit chance (Lightning Saber), or absorbing the enemy's HP (Moon Saber). Some bosses will even deliberately cast a saber on you of an element that they resist or absorb.
Trials of Mana inherits the Saber spells from Secret, and completes the set by adding Dark Saber to Shade's magic and replacing Mana Magic with Leaf Saber, which drains MP to complement Moon Saber's HP drain. Duran and Charlotte can learn most of these spells, and Kevin can learn either Moon or Leaf Saber as well depending on what class you make him. There are also items that can replicate the effects of these spells in case no one in your party can cast it themselves.

In Tales of Symphonia, Sheena learns spells like this every time she forms a pact with a summon spirit (Tethe Seal or Sylva Seal, depending on which world the Spirit resides in). The spells would temporarily give one person's weapon the elemental properties of the spirit in question. There are also items called "Quartz" that have the same effect when used in battle.
Tales of Vesperia and Tales of Xillia has lesser version in form of Fancy Elements/Elemental Impulse arte. It imbues party member's weapon with random element. In Xillia's case, the selected element is always one that the target's target is weak to if applicable.

In the second and third games of Mass Effect, three of the six character classes (Soldier, Infiltrator, Vanguard) have 2 or more ammo powers, all in the Fire, Ice, and Lightning category (called Incendiary, Cryo, and Disruptor respectively). Infiltrators have Disruptor and Cryo, Vanguards have Incendiary and Cryo, and Soldiers get all three. While they aren't spells, and weapons in the game are guns and not blades, the same concept applies.
Although, class-dependent heavy melee in the third game (Infiltrator and Engineer) possibly have elemental effects added to the omni-blade, so in those instances it's played straight.

In Demon's Souls and the Dark Souls sequels, weapons can be enchanted with fire, magic, and lightning (as well as poison and bleed damage) by spells and consumable items. Item upgrades can also bestow these effects semi-permanently, but lower the weapon's scaling and physical damage. In II, using an enchantment on a weapon that already does that type of damage will add the normal effect but also increase the existing damage by a fixed percentage.

In Final Fantasy XI Red Mages can use the En- line of spells described below, which allows them to solo bosses that usually take 20+ people to kill! This is because said bosses nullify direct damage attacks, but the En-spells don't count as that — they're technically additional damage tacked onto physical attacks, which means the fight is an incredibly slow one.

The Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan: AWR (Assist Weapon Recovery) are weapons made to channel mana. These weapons also have formulas engraved on them to facilitate spell usage. The main character, Alus, takes advantage of the formula writing portion by using a dagger with a long chain, and then engraving formulas on every link in the chain.

Fabula Ultima:
The Elementalist, Entropist, and Spiritist classes each have an "[X] Weapon" spell which imbues a weapon with magical energy, making it inflict damage of a specific elemental type for the duration.
The Elementalist's Spellblade skill lets them channel a single-target offensive spell through one of their equipped weapons, letting them use the weapon's Accuracy Check formula instead of the spell's normal Magic Check formula.
The Flame Dragon has a unique power, Gift of Flame, which enchants another creature's weapon to make it deal fire damage. Since the dragon is immune to fire, it mainly uses this power to gimp its enemies by making their weapons useless against it.

Secret of Mana has various "Saber" spells used by Primm, which can be used not only on her, but her allies as well. There is one Saber spell for 6 out of the 8 elemental spirits, excluding Shade (whose magic Primm can't use) and Dryad (who gets the plot-important Mana Magic instead). In addition to letting the affected character's physical attacks do elemental damage, the Saber spells often have a secondary effect, like freezing (Ice Saber), igniting (Flame Saber), or petrifying enemies (Stone Saber), increasing critical hit chance (Lightning Saber), or absorbing the enemy's HP (Moon Saber). Some bosses will even deliberately cast a saber on you of an element that they resist or absorb.

Warhammer 40,000:
Astartes Librarians use force weapons for melee combat. The Librarian is able to imbue these weapons with Warp energy to destroy the very soul of their enemy.
The 'Blades of Putrefaction' Psychic Power, from the Contagion Discipline used by Sorcerers of the Death Guard, enhances the melee weapons of the caster's allies with putrid blessing of Nurgle. In game terms, the 8th Edition rules represent this with a bonus to their to wound rolls and a chance of causing mortal wounds.
In some editions of the game, the Blood Angels Chief Librarian Mephiston had a unique psychic power, the 'Sanguine Sword' that allowed him to wreath his force sword in crimson flame, greatly increasing its strengthnote In 8th Edition this became the name and ability of the blade itself.

Final Fantasy V: The Spell Blade ability used by Mystic Knights is the Trope Namer. It's considered to be something of a Game-Breaker, since swords imbued with Status Effects will cause that effect 100% of the time as long as the attack itself hits and the target isn't immune, making Break sword an easy way to dispatch of many enemies. On top of that, weapons imbued with Holy or third tier elemental spells will deal instant death to enemies weak to their element, and Flare will simply make you deal huge amounts of damage with every attack.
The same ability returns in Bravely Default as Sword Magic, the Spell Fencer's specialty (though despite the name, it can be applied not only to swords but to any weapon, even bare hands).
The Nintendo DS remake of Final Fantasy IV gives Cid the "Upgrade" ability, which lets him use certain items to add an element to his hammer's attacks.
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years this trope occurs with several of the band attacks.
The Bangaa-exclusive Gladiator class in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance can imbue their swords with fire, ice, or lightning for a single attack.
In addition to the returning Gladiator class, the Viera-exclusive Spellblade class in Final Fantasy Tactics A2 attacks with a sword imbued with one of various Status Effects. Finally, the Hume-exclusive Parivir class combines this trope with Iaijutsu Practitioner, inflicting both massive elemental damage and status effects for some of the most brutal single-target offense in the game at the cost of being restricted to bladed weapons.
Final Fantasy VII has the Elemental and Added Effect materia, allowing you to add these to your basic attack.
Final Fantasy VIII allows the player to use the Junction system to imbue any characters' attack with both elemental damage and Status Effects.
In Final Fantasy IX Vivi could do this for Steiner when they were in the same party.
In Final Fantasy X Wakka can inflict Status Effects on enemies through these abilities as well as his Element Reels Overdrive. The crafting system allows you to make custom weapons with these effects as well that trigger on normal attacks.
In Final Fantasy X-2 Characters in the Warrior dressphere could deal out attacks like this, the skills themselves where named after recurring elemental swords like Flametongue and Excalibur.
In Final Fantasy XI Red Mages can use the En- line of spells described below, which allows them to solo bosses that usually take 20+ people to kill! This is because said bosses nullify direct damage attacks, but the En-spells don't count as that — they're technically additional damage tacked onto physical attacks, which means the fight is an incredibly slow one.
In Final Fantasy XIII (and XIII-2), the uncommonly used En-(element) skills grant this as a buff while well as the Ravager's Strike line of attacks do this in place of standard attacks.
Paladins and Dark Knights in Final Fantasy XIV have holy and dark element Spell Blade attacks, respectively. Meanwhile, Red Mages use mana accumulated by casting white and black magic spells to boost their sword strikes.
In Dissidia Final Fantasy the Trope Namer is the EX Burst for Idiot Hero Bartz Klauser while other characters get similar variations such as Jecht Blade which wreathe's said character's weapon in fire as well as Cecil's Soul Eater, Shadow Bringer and Saint's Fall do the same with dark and holy magic respectively.

Trials of Mana inherits the Saber spells from Secret, and completes the set by adding Dark Saber to Shade's magic and replacing Mana Magic with Leaf Saber, which drains MP to complement Moon Saber's HP drain. Duran and Charlotte can learn most of these spells, and Kevin can learn either Moon or Leaf Saber as well depending on what class you make him. There are also items that can replicate the effects of these spells in case no one in your party can cast it themselves.

In League of Legends there are several items that qualify for this, including items labelled "spell blade" which after you use an ability makes your next attack deal bonus damage based on either your base attack damage or your ability power. Others simply add bonus magic damage to your attacks. A number of champions also deal magic damage on their attacks without items as a result of their abilities. For example, Orianna deals bonus damage increased by her ability power, which deals more damage when she hits the same target multiple times in a row.

In Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby can mix the Sword ability with either Spark, Fire, or Ice to make the Elemental Sword abilities, done so by either mixing the Copy Ability Bubbles in Kirby's stomach or inhaling both enemies that give those Copy abilities. However, this is an unlockable ability that Kirby gets from collecting the Sword Ability Scroll from a treasure chest. Bomb can do the same, but only with Spark and Ice, since the normal version already counts as Fire for environmental effects.

Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai: Among their abilities the Dragon Knight is capable of channelling offensive spells into a weapon, greatly enhancing its attack power while also allowing it to bypass both Anti-Magic and anti-physical defences. This is most famously used in conjunction with the ultimate lightning spell Gigadein (Kazapple) to create the Finishing Moves "Giga Break" and "Giga Strash"... which would prove popular enough to be adapted back into the Dragon Quest games as "Giga Slash", the Hero class's ultimate attack.

Octopath Traveler has Runelord job, that has this trope as its core concept. Runelord can imbue their weapon with one of game's six elements, and can apply this buff to whole party with another skill. Said skill also makes Tressa with this job hilariously broken, since now she can apply her Sidestep skill to whole party, letting them dodge up to six physical attacks per use.
