Thank you for this question Ian.
The concept of "wanda" is that the outward appearance of something can create an internal feeling in the viewer.
This can apply to anything.
Let's say you have this really enormous, ugly Rottweiler, people see you walking your dog down the road, and they just automatically cross to the other side.
That's wanda in action, that great big cuddly pussycat of a rotty is everybody's buddy, he's more likely to lick you to death than to bite your leg off.
The operational auditor who walks into your office unannounced might look like Satan Incarnate to you, but actually his hobby is embroidery and one of his greatest joys is flower arranging, weekends he helps out down at the homeless shelter.
Wanda is the internal effect of visual perception. It is not really a spiritual thing.
So yes, it can apply to weapons such as swords & etc.
