Excalibur is a [Great old one?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu_Mythos_deities#Great_Old_Ones) well it certainly explains why he keeps calling us "Fools!"

Important to note that, by taking the spin off "Soul Eater NOT" in account, the experiment unlocked the weapon potential in humanity, be it by genes or magic.

So people that have the ability to become weapons seem to awaken during their childhood and adolescence.

<p>I will try to make this brief. I know Soul Eater ended ages ago and I just started watching it. I'm at season 3. I'm just curious about how they become weapons? I know that one is born as a weapon, but what happens physically? I might be overthinking it, but I am just curious.</p>

The so called *weapons* are a artificial race, created due to inhumane human/witch experimentation. We do not know how the actual physical transformation happens. Nor how the experimentation ultimatetly led to this *race*

These experiments known to create these *weapons* was originally discovered by Eibon and Death, whilst trying to find a way to create peace between the humans and the witches. Due to the inhumane practices required to create such demon weapons they decided to lock the exact steps away.

But as you learn later on in the story as well. Arachnid, with her spiders, managed to obtain this information, and started her own experimentation. Ultimatly leading to the race currently known as *Demon Weapons*
