As the title says, what kind of spells are there that can be used to directly affect a weapon directly in a beneficial way? By this I mean things like Greater Mighty Wallop or Greater Magic Weapon (and are the two notable examples I'm aware of). The spells can be from the list of any class, really.

Material from both 3.5th Edition and Pathfinder, as well as from third parties making content for said games, is good.

Artificer list has the whole weapon augmentation line. Also in that book, hero's blade (ECS 112) at 9th on the Deathless domain list.

More infusions: adamantine weapon (MoE 93) at 3rd and lucky blade (98) at 2nd. Same book has (greater) legion's magic weapon too.

Dragonmarked has dragonmarked weapon and its greater variant (151), which are on a bunch of lists but require a dragonmark.

It's annoying, because I actually looked into this a while back, and all I can remember off the top of my head that wasn't already mentioned is Deafening Clang.

Don't forget good ol' flame arrow! Oh, and undead bane weapon, that one is good too!

If Dragon Magazine content is allowed, there's Bane Weapon from #279 (p.47), which is vastly superior to Bladebane (longer duration, doesn't only affect slashing weapons, and doesn't cost 500GP per casting).

A few more:

Brambles (Cleric/Druid 2) //+10 damage
Spikes (Cleric/Druid 3) //+10 damage and double threat range.
Earth Hammer (Paladin 3/Cleric 5) //any weapon can now use Greater Mighty Wallop

Excellent for ammunition:
Sacred Item (Cleric/Paladin 4)
Profane Item (Cleric/Blackguard 4)

Where's good old Bless Weapon, or its equivalent, Corrupt Weapon or Disrupt Weapon?

ETA: Weapon of the Deity, too. Razorfangs, Jagged Tooth for natural weapons.

One more that wasn't listed:

Holy Sword, Pal 4, and unholy sword for Evil paladins, turns weapon held into a +5 Holy/Unholy weapon.
