Assuming you want to convert straight over, a +10 augment would come from a
16W4-5W5 ability;
+20 from a 16W9-5W10(!).
So, I'd probably give it multiple abilities, instead of combining them into
one humongous one. So it might have "So Sharp it can Shave a Gnat's Butt
10W2" (+5), "Hits like a Sledgehammer 10W2" (+5), "Uz Bane 10W2" (+5 vrs
trolls), "Daylight Dazzling 13" (+2) (you might want to raise that one up),
etc.
After all, these came from different applications of Humakts Gifts, (at +5
ranks each) so each gift should be its own ability. This keeps the numbers
down to "acceptable" levels, and keeps the sword from haveing a chance to
kill an Uz goddess all by itself (augmented by the wielder's Sword Combat
skill). Or you can make the hero into "Uzbane's Feet" and make the sword the
real hero :-).
