there is no "sword with ice on it", the ice on this image clearly clips >>537726761
unless there's another image of it you're talking about
i also don't think there is an "axe" form either.
i think the "axe" is just a transition stage for cutscenes. that way she would have 2 states. 1st with long sword and 2nd with ice long sword. kinda like how evelyn takes off her jacket.
that way she only needs 1 set of attack animations, as opposed to several if she were also swinging an axe around
