Can someone else use a weapon affected by Warrior's Spirit

For instance, say a fighter takes the Advanced Weapon Training ability Warrior's Spirit, and enhances his longsword with Holy, then hands it to the Ranger. Does the enhancement stay while in the Ranger's hands or go away?

Warrior's Spirit:
Warrior Spirit (Su) The fighter can forge a spiritual bond with a weapon that belongs to the associated weapon group, allowing him to unlock the weapon’s potential. Each day, he designates one such weapon and gains a number of points of spiritual energy equal to 1 + his weapon training bonus. While wielding this weapon, he can spend 1 point of spiritual energy to grant the weapon an enhancement bonus equal to his weapon training bonus. Enhancement bonuses gained by this advanced weapon training option stack with those of the weapon, to a maximum of +5. The fighter can also imbue the weapon with any one weapon special ability with an equivalent enhancement bonus less than or equal to his maximum bonus by reducing the granted enhancement bonus by the amount of the equivalent enhancement bonus. The item must have an enhancement bonus of at least +1 (from the item itself or from warrior spirit) to gain a weapon special ability. In either case, these bonuses last for 1 minute.


Advanced weapon training options function only when the fighter is wielding a weapon from the associated group, unless otherwise noted, and use his weapon training bonus for the associated weapon group.

So either (right answer) no, the enhancement functions only when the fighter is wielding the enhanced weapon, or (wrong answer) yes but only if the fighter hands the enhanced weapon to the ranger and then proceeds to wield another weapon from the associated group, thus very technically fulfilling the requirement quoted above. Don't go for the wrong answer, it's quite silly.

Ah! I totally missed that line. Thanks!


I dunno... If the 'training option' is the ability to imbue a weapon with an enhancement bonus, the fact that you lose the ability to imbue a weapon with an enhancement bonus when you're no longer wielding such a weapon doesn't mean that the item itself loses the bonus you already gave it.
