LeechBlade

Forged: Unknown
Enchanted: Unknown
Appearance: Two-Handed Axe
Type: Two-Handed battle axe+3
Special Abilities:
Shocking Grasp
Lightning Bolt
Healing
Creator: Frank Gilson
Notes:

This axe drains the hits it does for up to 50 points. This energy can be used in three different ways:
1) as a shocking grasp like attack along with the normal axe damage (The damage done is the number of points used in the grasp).
2) as a bolt of energy like a lightning bolt (2d10 Damage and the damage done is the number of points used.)
3) as healing for the user (2 energy points for every point healed.)
The 50 points can only be used once per day. So if more than 50 points of damage is done in one day then no more than 50 points can be handled by the axe.

The weapon was originally in the possession of a humanoid form lizard like guardian creature in a ruined temple to a forgotten god. Later the axe was sacrificed on an altar to Ivr Kamba, the god of revenge. The fate of the axe is unknown. It may have been consumed in the rite or merely taken by the god either for itself or to give to some unknown worshiper.
