The pun-tastically named Lifesaber is an interesting Weapon. It is not very powerful, but it does improve Lightning's Raise Ability. It's questionable how often that's useful—generally keeping people alive is better than being able to revive them more efficiently.

Name
The party member that can use this weapon
Character
The passive ability granted by this weapon; purchaseable weapons with a passive ability will grant a superior version of that same ability once upgraded; not all passive abilities are helpful; if you hover over the ability name, the tooltip text will describe the ability's effect
Ability
This indicates the range of strength granted by this weapon; for non-purchaseable weapons, the low end of this range is based on the level the weapon will be created at; if you hover over the bonus range, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the strength score
Strength
This indicates the range of magic granted by this weapon; for non-purchaseable weapons, the low end of this range is based on the level the weapon will be created at; if you hover over the bonus range, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the magic score
Magic
Some weapons may contribute towards a synthesized ability; you will also need to equip at least one accessory with the same synthesized ability to gain its effects; details of the trigger requirements and effects of the synthesized ability can be found on its information page
Synthesizes
The cost to purchase this weapon from a retail network, if it is available for sale
Price
The amount of gil you would receive for selling the weapon to a retail shop at its minimum level; value increases as the weapon gains levels; if you hover over the value, the tooltip text will give you the exact per-level formula for the value
Value
Each weapon has an associated rank, which determines how much experience the weapon gains from components of any given rank; a higher-rank weapon typically requires more or higher-quality components to upgrade
Rank
The per-level cost to upgrade this weapon; this cost increases at each level past the first, as indicated by the formula
Upgrade Cost
A mastered weapon will be dismantled into these items; note that dismantling a weapon at a lower level will result in a considerably limited subset of this list
Dismantled To
The number of times this weapon can be upgraded; the weapon actually has one more level than the number listed, the master level, which is indicated by a ✩; note that for non-purchaseable weapons, some lower levels cannot actually be reached, since the weapon is created at a higher level
Levels
The total amount of experience required to take this weapon from zero experience at level 1 to level ✩; the full value is listed even for non-purchasable because the amount of experience accumulated on a master weapon is carried over when it is upgraded; for a breakdown of exactly how much experience is required to master a weapon from any given level, view its information page
