What does your zanpakuto look like when sealed ? What does your zanpakuto look like in shikai (a proper description) ? What exactly does your zanpakuto do in shikai ? What does your zanpakuto look like in bankai (a proper description) ? What exactly does your zanpakuto do in bankai ?

If you can answer all those questions with even a little bit of detail, then you'll have created yourself a very basic zanpakuto.
