There is nothing in the game called weapon types, the part in the item description where it says Light Blade, Staff, Mace, etc. is just a convention the developers have been following (actually, I'm sure you're aware of this already). You could display the item description, but when you start changing things those descriptions may no longer be accurate.

The only reliable way to get a preview of the result is displaying the sprites that the current value will result in, until then, the user will have to keep track of sprite indexes or test it in-game.

This is something that'd need to have a support file.  In fact, I'm very much for a support file - when it loads the rom, it loads the corresponding support file at the same time.  This would let us do things like label those value, and more importantly, create rom-specific breaks for things like abilities, items, and classes.  This helps us sort things easier without wasting space by leaving a blank value.  It's a completely supplementary thing and doesn't affect the rom in any way, but would be a great tool to aid the creation of hacks.
