Soul Weapons are the new special scroll that's currently JMS exclusive. It consists of two parts:
1) A Spirit Scroll
2) A Boss Spirit Orb
The first is a 10% chance, with no splatting if it fails. If it succeeds, your weapon then has the ability to drain souls from monsters when you kill them. Every 100 gives a small attack buff, to 1,000 souls. With 1,000 souls, you get 10% of your attack added on to your weapon (It's been broken since inception in JMS though, after a while the buff breaks and stops working, the only way to fix it is to induce a reduction in the souls then bring it back up).
The second is a 25% chance, fail = 100% chance your weapon is broken. It requires that your weapon has a succeeded spirit scroll already. When you have 1,000 souls on your weapon, you can activate the orb for the various effects (Somewhat readable in the screenshot Arrg posted). Basically every boss has an orb, with various effects.
I don't see the orbs nor the spirit scrolls in the Consume extraction data, so I assume it's not officially implemented yet. Familiars and Spirit Weapons were together in the same patch in JMS, though, so I'm kind of surprised they haven't implemented by now.
