The issue is that the weapon is Odin. Odin is a primal, and therefor not even a weapon but whatever primals are made of. It would not be feasible to own a weapon like that, because as wek now, Odin completely controls anyone who wields him. You character would lose her "self" to it, even if the primal isn't evil. Ramuh isn't an evil primal, but tempers his subjects all the same.
This is actually not entirely accurate. As I stated in a similar thread a few days back, the Zodiac Braves all had sentient weapons. So, there were at one point in time at least twelve living weapons in the world. The Zodiac questline has you create another sentient weapon, so thirteen. And then the new anima weapon quest has you doing the same thing, so even more. Thavnairian scholars and alchemists are all about infusing inanimate objects with souls and life, so it's not too farfetched to say that more of these objects exist in the world.
As far as Odin goes, Odin himself is actually not the primal. The sword, Zantetsuken, is the actual primal. The person who picks up the sword becomes tempered by it and becomes the next Odin. The sword actually once belonged to an Auri warrior from the Far East, so another living weapon with eastern origin. But I don't really think a primal is the route you want to take, for obvious reasons.
So again, I'd go with Near Eastern alchemy to imbue your omnirod with a soul. For more lore and know-how, I'd suggest reading over the quest text for the Zodiac questline in the Dialogue tab here.
Hope this helps! ^^
