I'm looking for a few things and hoping the Playground can point me to any official sources, or help me come up with a reasonable way to accomplish the following:

Weapon instant return - hoping for an item property to allow multiple attacks with the same weapon. If it were crafted as a custom I would assume the applied spell would have to be a Quickened Teleport so minimum 9th level spell and 17CL which is a very expensive route. Is there a way already? Or what would this cost to add? Maybe a +2 cost or a fixed GP?

Weapon changing type - So a player that uses a spear can shift it from spear, to dagger, or maybe you need a blunt weapon? Maybe it could shift into a ring for easy storage. I'm assuming a Polymorph spell and 7CL maybe not too expensive? Since this would not be quite the same as other weapon properties, maybe this can be a fixed GP addition? I don't think it should cost more based on the existing enhancement bonus.

Not sure about the first one, but Morphing sounds like it would do what you’re looking for with the second.

This sounds like a more powerful version of the returning (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#returning) property, so a +2 bonus sounds reasonable to me.

Isn't there a weapon crystal that does EXACTLY that first one?
People underestimate weapon crystals but they are such a good option...

Ok the +1 weapon property Morphing is a thing that helps. I did not see anything about a weapon crystal to change the base weapon though. The greater return crystal only grants the standard +1 property Returning.
