Also an interesting idea. My character wouldn't actually be wielding the Silver Sword itself. It's his patron, and in terms of power it's an artifact-level weapon. But his pact weapon would be a psychic manifestation of it, so... close enough.
I confess my first instinct was simply to swap out this entire feature with something else that fit better, but this discussion has produced some workable ideas to re-skin/re-flavor the Accursed Specter feature so that it fits the character concept. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Now my paladin has eldritch blast, lightning lure, expeditious retreat and shield along with the hexblade's curse.
He has maxed his Charisma but has a -3 penalty with dwarves, who treat him like a teenager.
Now to find that party and retrieve the bit of his life force in the blade. Seeing how close he came he has embraced wine, woman and song (light/beauty) and taken the Ancients Oath.
So guess that makes the blade itself the patron? Or am I just fooling myself that her patron is behind the scenes?
I absolutely love this and I’m going to adopt it into a future character.
