"Most weapons don't, but blades of power might." Not this one, certainly, but Mairon could make a much more horrible weapon than the one she's holding in her hand. "If misused, they can bring their bearer to harm." Or if just made with ill intent.

"Though Mussë will do no such thing." Technically, Sauron could use the sword to exert an influence over its bearer, but that isn't his goal at the moment. He is genuinely experimenting. His experience with both Empatheias and humans is still limited. He watches her swing the sword, and he nods, seemingly satisfied with what he sees.

"Now, strike at me, with intent to hit me." If it works as he's planned, the sword will assist the speed, timing, and accuracy of her blow—not that she could actually move quickly or with force enough to strike Mairon. It takes a very special kind of warrior to land a blow on a Maia. But it would serve her well against a human opponent.
