[Dark Souls] How exactly does Titanite work?

I understand that in the game itself reinforcing weapons make them do more damage, but exactly *how* does it work from a realistic standpoint? Like, does it make them sharper? How much sharper would a +10 Longsword be from a +0 Longsword? What about weapons like maces? Does it make them heavier? I could never really come up with an explanation for this myself, so what's exactly going on here?

Titanite is no ordinary material. It resembles metal, but it is actually all derived from a single source, The Titan. Aeons ago, this entity, the Titan, was destroyed in the cataclysmic explosion of the First Flame and his "flesh" was scattered across the human world.

The Titan wasn't a being like you or me. It was a primal, immortal being who's body was a uniform substance animated by magical force. Being engulfed by the First Flame did not kill The Titan, rather it divided it's consciousness into a billion shards... Some fragments, such as the Prowling Demons, are large enough to have both awareness and autonomous action, though they are dumb and blind, they sense their surroundings through detecting vibrations in the aether and are capable of producing bolts of magical lightning. Smaller pieces are not "aware" as we understand it, but they are able to be coaxed into joining with various materials and having a reenforcing effect on them. Weapons and armor become more resilient, the more titanite the greater effect. Blades "want" to keep a sharper edge. Enough of it and weapons can contain more magical energy than ordinary materials, the weapons become more massive at just the moment of impact, pushing them through muscle and bone, armor hardens as it is struck, magical fire, or holy lighting may explode from a weapon properly infused and imbued.
