    My magplar runs dual resto staves. The front bar is more offensive so the staff is sharpened. It helps ALL her offensive abilities penetrate as long as it is in her hands. The back bar staff is powered, which helps all her healing whether from the resto line or templar line - again, as long as the staff in in her hands.

    Similarly, if your active weapon is 'defending', it will help your defense.

    So yes, even if you don't use the weapon as a weapon, the trait can help.

    Can you use 1 axe and 1 sword? Will it give you the same spell damage buff? Or must i use 2 swords?

    If you're a DPS you really want sharpened on both swords.

    The penetration on the weapons affects the penetration of your spells too.

    Subject was tl;dr. Just kidding.

    To get the passive bonus you need to equip both of the same type of weapon. The common practice is to dual wield swords with sharpened.

    Yes but each weapon has its own buff. Look at the DW passives to learn more.

    Spell power bonus is innate on dual wield, so it can be anything
    Dual weild blade and blunt passive should further increase
    Then sharpened will increase penetration for spell as well as physical

    basically: dual wielding anything will give more spell damage.
    Dual swords as mentioned above is better
    making them sharpened is even better
