I realize when polymorphed, worn items are "absorbed" into the new form. What happens to your weapons?
Let's say I'm a 16th level Bloodrager with the Draconic bloodline, wielding a +2 Furious Courageous Greatsword. I enter a bloodrage, and choose to use my Dragon Form supernatural ability to polymorph as Form of the Dragon II.
I expect that my weapon gets absorbed into the polymorph, so I cannot attack with it (I am "stuck" with full attacking as a dragon, woe is me). But do I retain the Furious and Courageous effects as I would, say, the effect from a Ring of Protection or Cloak of Resistance? Do I even retain those bonuses, or am I just misinterpreting the "absorbed" part entirely?
Thanks in advance.

I suppose that makes sense. The only quibble I could see is magic items that a dragon couldn't "wear" continuing to work, but not the weapon. Allow me to play devil's advocate for a second:
Say I had Feather Step Slippers. A dragon can't wear a foot slot wondrous item (I think? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you get the idea even so), yet the slippers continues to give me Feather Step while polymorphed (useless as it may be since I can just fly now). Since I was wearing it, the constant effect continues to function. But the weapon does not, even though I was wielding it before?
It may be as simple an explanation as weapon =/= wondrous item for polymorphing, but I just want to explore this thoroughly.
Thanks.

Polymorph does not distinguish between types of gear. So if the benefit is constant it should apply. However, weapons are use activated so anything that is dependent on attacking with the weapon, like the defending property (which also requires an action) would not work. If weapons require being wielded or held specifically then it would not work.
