An easy way to keep that from exploding too much is to only really make the ten base forms distinct, and have the five power levels just be straight numerical effects, so they don't need distinct effects. I'm not too familiar with the original, but it might even be feasible to make the weapon have the same base stats across all 10 forms, and just grant a form-specific bonus that scales with hearthstone level plus aesthetic changes?

That's what I was thinking for this. The sword would have 10 different forms, each one would have it's power amount depend on the hearthstone in the socket.

The major drawback to it, is of course, getting access to that many hearthstones. To use is at it's full potential you would need 50 dots worth.
