I think that having Control Undead for prerequisite for a spell that actually doesn't control undead at all is weird, otherwise its fine (talking of Major Undead Swarm). I presume you made that choice since it would allow wizards to create the sword as well, which is a good argumentation and I am hard stressed to find a spell that could replace it....It can easily be upgraded into other kinds of undeads.How about this for an additional ability... +1; Undead ArmyDoubles the amount of HD that can be controlled with the Undead Bodyguards ability. Prereq: Weapon must have the Undead Bodyguards ability (which ensures that the creator also has some required necromantic spell). I think youre estimate of controlled HD and round before animation are right as well. Even though, I would prefer to call the Undead Bodyguards for Animating instead, perhaps. Undead Swarm sounds fine though. I think that Minor Undead Swarm might be a +2 as well. Even though the undead are not under the wielders command, he can create far more of them. Someone with such a weapon that, for example, ambushes a caravan, would create a host of zombies that would plague that trade route for day, even weeks.</blockquote>
