Read the "Eternal Champion" series by Michael Moorcock, where Elric and the swords are taken from.
Anyone (under certain limitations.. mostly mental I think) should be able to wield them, if I remember correctly. Stormbringer and Mournblade are just two of an entire race of demons. They were trapped into the forms of swords. (I forget the details, but it's a great series... a must read... it's been about 15 years sicne I read them... I should again soon.)
Elric ended up with Stormbringer while his cousin Yrkoon (sp?) had Mournblade.
Elric was just one reflection of the Eternal Champion who existed on all planes of existance. Other mini-series within the greater "Eternal Champion" series are about the different heroes. They usually had some kind of unique arm or armor, or some other way in which they were both blessed and cursed.
