Well, as I recall the Intelligence comes from the skill of the crafter. A smart sword is a result of the skill and a component of luck. There is no soul trapping required.
All intelligent swords were not people or souls of other races. It should be noted that some swords capture part of the soul, like moon blades , and clearly a soul can be trapped into a sword. |
"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

The last pages of the old FR4 The Magister accessory had some info on how weapons are imbued with intelligence in the Realms. Check it out.

Thanks, mr Krashos.
Finally managed to track down a friend with a copy. Awesome spells in that tome BTW.
Loved the little lore nugget that most simple intelligent swords (int less than 13) have been bound with a dog spirit, as they are wont to track down or point to things of interest for their masters. Might have to use that knowledge in an upcoming session involving a sentient dagger...
Cheers!
