Please let me know if the wording needs to be changed and if the card isn't balanced.

    "Spirit" is an already-supported creature type, so that might work better. Especially considering this card is otherwise virtually unplayable since there's no real way to get Souls to sacrifice in the first place. However, a simple mana cost would probably be better. Perhaps 2. Also, perhaps remove first strike. Typically swords don't give first strike (they're too short; it's more a spear thing), and also it might confuse some players into thinking they can block with the dead creature the same turn it dies from first strike damage, which they can't actually do.

    Fixed templating, FYI:

    "Equipped creature gets +2/+0 and has first strike and "Whenever a creature dealt damage by this creature this turn dies, return that creature to the battlefield under your control. That creature is a Spirit in addition to its other types."

    "Equip: Sacrifice a Spirit"

      How's that? ^_^

        I had to read the quoted part a few times to understand what's going on.
        "When a creature dies in the same turn that the creature equipped with this artifact attacks, that creature is returned to the battlefield under your control. The acquired creature becomes a Spirit in addition to its other types."
        I think that says the same-thing but more clearly?

          Or better yet..
          Equipped creature gains +2/+0, has first strike and "When an opponent creature dies the same turn it was attacked by the equipped creature, that creature is returned to the battlefield under your control. The acquired creature then becomes a Spirit in addition to it's other type(s)."
