I'm not too keen on the idea itself. Specialized weapons can make certain creatures into pushovers and others too powerful. When I saw the title, I was afraid you'd make these über against their designated foes and useless against everything else. Reading them, I think you managed this pretty well, so they should work.

Nice stuff. Seems balanced OK, just some minor comments.

Power (Encounter): Minor action. You are no longer dazed.

Make this an immediate reaction otherwise you have to wait a whole round to use it.

Elemental Slayer

The needs something that says you can't have more the one of the minor actions active at the same time. Maybe even limit them to using one type per encounter.

Power (Daily): Free Action. Target invisible creature becomes visible until the end of the encounter.

You can't target invisible creatures so this is kind of tricky to use. Maybe use language like the wielder can see invisible creatures for the encounter. Another option would be use change it entirely to until the end of the encounter the wielder can hit insubstantial creatures without a penalty.

Yeah, I tried to make it so that they'd still be useful against any type of enemy, but they would be even more useful against certain types of enemies.

How do these fixes look?

Perhaps it would be a good idea to require the wielder to return the weapon to normal before changing damage types. Also, since the only limit to Free Actions is the one placed by the DM, limiting the number of changes per turn (or encounter) might be good.
