Blade of Eternal Thirst

Level 5
Thaumaturgy

Description

Scholars debate if the hazards of vampirism are a product of the condition itself, or an additional curse levied as consequence for an age-old sin. It has thus far proven impossible to sate vampirism without some degree of peril but experiments have been met with some success. By ritually carving and enchanting a weapon made of bone, you can imbue it with a portion of your hunger. The blade will seek to consume any blood it comes into contact with, but as its master, you can claim it as your own.

Cost:

3 Blood

System

To create a Blade of Eternal Thirst, you must carve a bladed weapon out of bone and immerse it in 3 points of your own Blood. This requires you to have 2 or more dots of the skill Craft: Weaponsmithing. Once the ritual is complete the weapon does aggravated damage. In addition, when the weapon successfully strikes an enemy resulting in at least one point of damage (determined after the target’s Fortitude or similar defensive abilities), the blade consumes 1 point of Blood which is magically preserved inside the weapon.  

A Blade of Eternal Thirst can store up to 3 points of Blood which will retain its mundane and magical properties. While wielding the sword and by spending a simple action, you can magically absorb the points of Blood, drawing from the oldest point first. However, you are subject to any effects the blood has such as drugs or toxins, the blood bond, or powers such as Acid Blood. Finally, by spending a standard action you may force a single point of Blood out of the blade and into a container if so desired.  

You may only create one Blade of Eternal Thirst. If you create another the previous one is destroyed along with any blood it contains. Only the creator of a Blade can utilize its benefits, including the ability to do aggravated damage; in the hands of anyone else it is a mundane weapon. A Blade of Eternal Thirst remains enchanted for one month but each month after its creation you may soak it in a point of your Blood to extend its enchantment by another 30 days. If a Blade of Eternal Thirst loses its enchantment for any reason, or the weapon is broken, any blood stored within it is destroyed and cannot be recovered. Finally if a Blade of Eternal Thirst is targeted by the thaumaturgical ritual Perfect Forgery or similar powers, only the Blade is copied; any blood contained within is not duplicated. All other limitations of Perfect Forgery apply as normal, including only the creator of the original Blade of Eternal Thirst being able to utilize the effects of a forgery.
