I was wondering if there are any abilities, enchantments, or matierials that would allow you to turn a One Handed melee weapon, such as a longsword or Battleaxe, into a Light weapon?

Aside from buying one designed for a person one category smaller (Human using a halfling's long sword).

You might be interested in the following feat:

Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting feat.
From: Complete Adventurer

It lets you treat a one handed weapon as light weapon only for the purposes of TWF penalties.

That is EXACTLY the sort of thing I'm looking for. I shall consult the feat index and use it happily. Thanks my friend.

There's a prestige class in Complete Warrior called Dervish that lets you treat a scimitar as a light weapon instead of a one-handed weapon.

...basically just a rapier that does slashing damage and weighs 2 more pounds. lol.
