On the top right side of the screen, you can see the Acquired Weapon Skills. These vary from weapon to weapon. Below that, you can see the skills that will be unlocked and the stat boosts once the weapon level increases. The weapon's ability can be found just above the weapon itself.

Below the list of weapons, there is a graph that displays the current level of the weapon along with the required SP. A big advantage of this weapon system is that even if you switch weapons, the level remains the same.

Make sure that you are wielding your preferred weapon in fights, as it will increase its proficiency. This will allow you to have the ability equipped even if you are using a different weapon.
