A bloodstone weapon can store and cast a vampiric touch spell against a creature it strikes, just as if it were a spell storing weapon. Any such spell cast from a bloodstone weapon is automatically empowered (as if by the Empower Spell feat). A bloodstone weapon can store no more than one such spell at any time, and it cannot store a spell other than vampiric touch.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Empower Spell, vampiric touch.

Cost to Create: Varies.
