Seems like a decent idea, although his Force Weapon will be the poorer AP value. And normally you want to cause at least one unsaved wound. I'd make the FW the Sword and give him a Staff as the Power Weapon.

Unless the entry says it must be one of a limited list of options, then there are no restrictions as to which form the generic force weapon can take.

Well duh, its in the rules that the model must actually have the weapon in question modelled. So if you say he has a Force Axe he better have a Axe, or one of the multiple weapons that falls into the Axe catagory(Halberd, Polearm, etc...)

The same with Mauls and Lances and Swords.

And the weapon choice should be noted in the army list as well to prevent swapping models or equipment during the game.

Hey guys, keep the Sorcerer as cheap as possible. A force sword should be enough. He's not a cc monster anyway. However, he should be able to take out a pf wielding Sergeant. You cant expect more.

The reason I was thinking "Sword" over "Lightning Claw" is because a claw is a Specialist Weapon, and doesn't grant the +1 attack. My goal with this sort of build is to maximize the number of attacks while also creating flexibility depending on what sort of enemy the guy is facing. I can't simply give him a CCW because he's in Terminator Armor.

I also plan to keep him marked because 1: it's a Slaanesh army, 2: I want him able to get Symphony to support the Noise Marines in the army and 3: the +1 Init should keep any Space Marine Sgts from getting any lucky simultaneous kills, amongst other problems. The exact points costs are not critical, as I've got room in the list to play around with right now.

Also... please assume that, yes, I will be following the rules for modeling it correctly. If I was in the wrong kind of mood, I'd take it as an insult that y'all kind of assumed that sort of talk was needed, but I'll let it pass for now.
