Good point. I think I can start on that as early as either Pokemon, maybe even a bit in Katanagatari... I can almost imagine a scene where Garrick picks up the dagger, Akuto Bita, and the things SCREAMS as it suddenly corrodes and turns to rust in his hands.
(This was one of the 12 Deviant Blades - this particular one is supposed to be stabbed into the user's chest and will provide never-ceasing vitality. It's name is supposed to mean 'Poor, The Evil'.)
As for powering it himself... that's already the idea behind the lighthawk wing he generates now. As he said to Azonia, that is the manifestation of him using his own power to exert his will on the universe. But it's only the one for now. I'm going to have it that it's kind of an exponential power thing... here, lemme write out the math, it's simpler that way.
We need a numerical value to start with, so for the moment let's just say that a single lighthawk wing has an arbitrary power level of 2. To get a second one, he need twice the amount of power he has now, IN ADDITION to what he has. Therefore:
1 Wing: 2
2 Wings: 2+2^2=6
3 Wings: 2+2^2+2^3=14
4 Wings: 2+2^2+2^3+2^4=30
5 Wings: 2+2^2+2^3+2^4+2^5=62
I'm playing with the idea that the Clan's... Crest? Coat of Arms? That it should show a black fox-spirit - a Nogitsune. They are different from their counterparts in that they do not serve Inari, and therefore are not bound against doing harm to humans. They are not necessarily evil, though a few are legitimate bad news, but the majority of them are simply pranksters. That said, one should always be careful when the fox spirit you're dealing with is not one of Inari's servants.
Anyhow, the whole thing is that for every Wing Garrick can generate on his own, the Nogitsune gets a tail. Which will be keeping with the traditional idea that the older and more powerful a fox spirit is, the more tails it will have.
By the time he hits nine, he's gonna have retired for the most part. But should anything catch his interest... Well, the Nine Tails are said to be the most terrifying ones of them all - even the ones that serve Inari.
Maybe he'll take to having tea with Yukari and Ran on a regular basis...
And yes, he will definitely be bro-fisting Kami-Tenchi.
Kami-Tenchi: "Dude. That trick with the souls of those Puella Magi... That is SICK."
Kami-Garrick: "Can't take all the credit, Bro. It was all this little angel's idea."
Kami-Madoka: "Uhm... Hi?"
