Rules of Honzen

Honzen always form a weapon, or set of weapons up to three items, that perfectly complement the Yohei. A set may have dual swords, a pair of tonfa, chakrams, etc, as long as those items are intended to be used as a pair. These count as "one item"
Honzen cannot be replaced. If it breaks it will slowly regenerate over a course of three days.
Honzen can determine if their Yohei are worthy of their power, and may not give its true name to the Yohei, limiting that Yohei's power severely.
Honzen each have their own name, of which the Yohei must learn.
Honzen have a true form which resides inside of their Yohei. The place the Honzen reside is called "The Inner World" and is unique to every Yohei.
It is possible for a Yohei to lose harmony with their Honzen, which will cause the Honzen to leave them and become a Shoshiki again.
No matter what form, or size, a Honzen takes it is always virtually effortless for the Youhei to wield as they are soul bonded.
No Honzen in existence has release states that use unrelated abilities.
A Honzen cannot use elemental attacks of more than one element.
No two Honzen will act exactly the same. This means that two different Yohei will never have the exact same powers.
Honzen give a unique ability. A Honzen will never give a general ability such as "control of water". Instead it will give a specific ability such as "The Honzen is able to collect and compress electrical energy. This allows it to do shoot off a lightning attack or amp the users speed."
Shikai and Bankai states can have up to three "effects".
