Quick note about Rhaast being a weapon

Before we all get gungho about our theories and crafting. I just want to point this out. I don't think all darkins are weapons... only that rhaast is unique in some regards.

at 9:07 , Xayn implies that rhaast was captured and sealed inside of a weapon. When rhaast is chosen, he even has a line saying "I am finally free"

I know people think virus's bow is a weapon as well, but so far, we only have one confirmed darkin weapon, that is rhaast. I wouldn't put money on aatrox being a weapon himself ( seems like lazy writing to me ), but who knows.

Edit: Further reason why I belive that rhaast didn't start off as a weapon https://youtu.be/UcW8Rl_0nBE?t=2m37s

When he says "ooh thse legs will take some getting use too" it can be taken, as a sign that he never had them before, or that he had different legs before, and these are way smaller than his original ones.

Or maybe they were all trapped into weapons and they need to corrupt the person who wields them to regain their true form like Aatrox .

Another note: In rhaast's interaction video. He has a particular choice of words that implies he wasn't always inside of a weapon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcW8Rl_0nBE&feature=youtu.be&t=7m32s

8:36 He says " I do like this trick " - implying that kayn being the host originally had this power, but now that he has taken over him, he can use it for himself.

8:55 he says : "Hmm, so that's what dying feels like... GOOD THING IM IMMORTAL" - implying that he never really died or lost his body, merely trapped into something else.

Also along the lines. a lot of his quotes ( really no hard core proof ) really hints at the fact that he has killed, many many times before. Which makes it hard for me to believe that he was always a weapon to begin with.

I truly think, that rhaast's personality, out of all of the darkins led him to be imprisoned. His sassy uncaring nature, probably allowed him to be caught and trapped inside of the weapon he is in now. But it wasn't always that way
