Vampire Claw

The perfect gift for all your psi-stalker friends

Techno-Wizard knife that not only causes an unstoppable bleed effect, but also acts as a psychic energy vampire for the wielder.

Mechanics & Inner Workings

On a successful hit, even if it does not cause a wound, it will cause Unstoppable Bleeding  (only on creatures capable of bleeding, of course).

In addition to causing the target to bleed, the knife also drains the target of psychic energy the same as the PPE Vampire spell, but only if a bleed effect was caused by the attack.  This can occur repeatedly, but must first be charged by expending 2 PPE of the welder's own power.

Significance

Since a psi-stalker must first cause his subject to bleed in order to drain its psychic energy, which are two separate actions; this object does both with a single action.

Rarity

Rare.   Less than a hundred have ever been made.  Each one is a unique combination of finish and decoration, but they all have the same properties.
