Sometimes when my players find a magic item or weapon, I ask them "What do you want it to be?"
My notes might say there's a frosted greatsword plunged into the altar. But if the character who finds it would rather have a flaming rapier, what difference does it make?

Yeah, this isn’t an edition where you can relatively easily change your seventeenth magic longsword into the glaive you want to use, so adjusting this stuff to fit your party is a powerful way to tailor simple but meaningful details to your party. The magic longsword hidden early in Descent into Avernus in my game was a nondescript blade made of pure light. It conformed to whatever weapon the wielder was most comfortable using, so my all-rogue PCs could get some… any… use out of it.

Whoaaa I somehow missed that your party is all rogues!!! There are only 2 PCs, a Swashbuckler and an Inquisitive.
They have NPC allies, Reya Mantlemorn (Devotion pally) and a tiefling smuggler named Tragic (Divine Soul – Asmodeus)

In fact the statue of Bane that demands obedience, holding the removable spear? I made that a spear of vengeance that was taken from the defiled tomb of the ancient warlord buried in the crypts (the empty tomb earlier in the dungeon), so Reya used that for a while. The broken dragon fang dagger in the treasure hoard was magical, if they could get it repaired (they did at Candlekeep).
Customize that shit.
