I'd really appreciate it! Thanks so much in advance!

Its basically a katana made of a white metal.

Oh, you can certainly describe it in more detail than that!

While I'm not a very good artist (to the point where I'm not planning on drawing this, sorry if I got your hopes up), the artists that I do know prefer to have a lot of details included in their projects, otherwise they risk delivering a product that wasn't necessarily their client's original vision. That was a very long-winded way of saying you could totally include some more details in describing your katana. I'm not saying you should look up the general composition and traditional forging techniques of katanas, but there are some other details you could include.

–What's the handle wrapped in?
–Does it come with a sheath? What does it look like?
–Are there any ornaments either on the handle or the guard?
–You've already taken care of what the blade itself looks like, blinding white and such, but does it always glow like that? Does the glow change when it's sealed an ability? Does it glow in the presence of something a la Sting from the Lord of the Rings?

I really hope I don't come off sounding snippy, I'm just a guy who loves the process of making weapons and such. There are a lot of traditional and not-so-traditional katanas you can look at for some ideas. I personally love the Hattori Hanzo blade from the Kill Bill movies.

Thank you! I added more detail to the blade! If you have any other advice for me, I'd love to hear it!

I just took a look at it, I LIKE IT! The only thing I can add is that traditional katana wraps have something on the bottom (like that red dragon skin) and then what looks like shoelace making that fancy crosshatch pattern called the Ito pattern. It can be silk, leather, cotton, rayon, or any fabric that you choose. There are also ornaments on the inside of the Ito wrap but laying on top of the handle wrap called the menuki. They are mostly meant for decoration, but they also help your grip. The menuki are usually pretty small, I'd recommend looking up examples of them if you choose to include that detail.

The two things I suggested are pretty optional when creating an actual sword, but I figured I'd inform you that these details exist and they are pretty cool. Gotta say I love your description of the sheath! This sword is turning out really cool.
