If you treat it as a "follower", or even an NPC, not as an item of equipment as such, then the use the PCs get from it is very much limited by their relationship with it. If that's at 13..... or maybe limited by their "initiate/devotee of Orlanth"...?
What level its powers should be is always tricky, but from what I remember of the original item, it really is that sort of level.
There's a reference I hit the other day in the Humakt
write-up: Inginew Redson, one of the sub-cults. (ST
p103). "In the Gods War, Humakt lost his original
sword and needed replacements, so Inginew made them
for him.... the first sword forged from iron, called
Uz-cleaver.... the Wind Sword...."
This thing's good enough that Humakt himself uses it.
1W3 may be a few masteries too low.
But really, what power you make it in your game depends on what use you want to make of it. I believe you said the players intend to give it to Kallyr. How impressed do you want her to be when they do? Bearing in mind that if you use the "limited by relationship level" idea, she'll be hit by exactly the same limitations!
Then again, maybe that 1W3 is in "have impressive reputation", and "Say "won't" in stubborn manner"? :)
