Interesting to see this thread resurrected. What ended up happening in my game (I see I intended to provide an update...!) was that by defeating the entity bound to the sword my player was able to effectively neutralize it. I then explained that she could reinvigorate it by defeating a great evil and in that good act part of her soul and powers from the defeated creature would enter the sword and it would become a new "good" aligned sword with those powers.
It worked out well, she lugged the "lifeless" sword around for a few levels missing its +X capabilities and powers but then, in a climactic battle with Iymrith (in SKT), she landed the killing blow with the sword and in that moment the sword channeled some powers and a part of her soul (providing the good alignment) and became powerful again. The player was happy and it was a cool moment. Now she lays about monsters with it with great glee
So she basically murdered the sword's personality then stole it for herself. Sounds like Lawful Good to me!

You forgot about the part where she first kidnapped it (what evil sword wants to be wielded by a wussy paladin?) before lobotomizing it.

Evil swords being wielded by wussy paladins is how many anti-paladins start out!

The question is who corrupts whom? Perhaps they both meet at a Lawful Neutral...
