Why would ancient swords have different powers, and they seem very overpowered. Teleportation? Summoning lighting? We aren't wizards! You can't just summon up a random thing because you have an old thing. Why would they even give powers?

This suggestion just seems overpowered and nonsense. excluding that the powers would have a really low % to show up, and the standard 11dmg with the impossibility to enchant it with the vanilla table.

well the enchantment in the middle-earth aren't a "nonsense" things, if we take the morgul blade it can (lore talking) leave a fragment of the blade digging it's way to the heart of the wounded frodo.

the black arrows could always be retrivered even if it's not said if it had magical powers

Dramborleg was an axe that could not only move on its own, but slayed 5 Balrogs in the fall of gondolin

Grond every time it hit the ground leaved a crater

Anglachel had its own personality and fell from the sheat of Beleg and Turin mistook him for an enemy killing him at last it even responded to the last words of Turin whe he suicided on its blade

Dailir the arrow of Beleg alway hit it's target and alwais returned back

so these are the powers that i remember, so i don't think it would be nonsense for a sword to be able tu summon s lightning once in a while (like did Gandalf even if he is a Istari) , or even calling a Wraith (similar to the army of the death even if they where on a oath)

and as before this is not really a 100% lore suggestion but more like a Tolkien-world Rpg quest for the players to have an ancient sword that would follow them as their really personal sword that wouldn't be like any other, maybe even having the name of the player who restored the sword in it to giving the chance for some servers to add a rule where you have to return the sword to the owner of it, or just know who is the owner of the sword

Utumno was a stretch from the start, because of how long it would take, how difficult it will be along with the rest, and no one would do it because it's not worth it. and for this the Opness would be the occasional Powers, rare but usefull, maybe they can be Nerfing if they appear too much but i remind that the powers should affect both the user and the enemy (as a lightining would strike both user and enemy) thats would make someone cautious when using the sword. and about the More common, the suggestion was actually to make a really personal sword, but also a really hard to get.why would someone kill countless Mountain trolls to get a gondolinian sword? for having a rare and more personal sword. this would get to the core of the psicological idea of a "sword that characterize the player" a sword that would take time and difficoulty to make ( having to travel to Utummno, having to slay Dragons and fight more difficoult Mobs for the pieces), that would have everytime a balanced power and a really unique Name and Look.The thing would be that it would take so much time to make really hard to have many of these swords , or even making impossible to have a second one , one sword would have the name of who made it on it, and would be the jewel on the crown of the player even if the name/race/power would be totally Random. There hasn't been any lightning swords open for just any person. When yes, a person RPing as a vala might need it, but what if, say, a simple orc soldier gets it? Or a *says in gollum voice* stupid, fat hobbit. I mean, a little hobbit drinking an ale in a mini bar shouldn't have a sword that would strike everyone with lightning. As far as I know, the only recent powerful sword with that much magical property was weilded by Aragorn. And that was just a bit of sparkly decoration and he could control the mountain men one time only when gondor needed it- wait actually that's a really big power... So anyway, the big flaw of this would be if you had to go to utumno, or the far north forodwaith shore or something, or someone whos not supposed to have it get it. Very well thought of and well detailed suggestion, i'm just giving some constructive criticism.
