Idea for a weapon type for followers of aeridin

[General_Ski]

A weapon that heals the attacked target on hit. Terrifying against undead. Gives living a chance to back off without a fight. In line with Aeridin's teachings. Probably valid for staffs only. Since true followers Aeridin would be using non-maming weapons. And a staff is made from living tissue a tree, so may have healing powers, unlike metal.

An impressive idea, but at the same time the level requirement for the On Hit Cast Spell property is INSANE. Add the adjusted level requirements to it and an great roleplayable item because totally useless as you must be very, very high level to use it.

A great idea. But the limited mechanics of the game would get in the way of it.

Well it's not a weapon for every follower of Aeredin. Certainly, high prerequisites are a must. After all. Power to heal is granted to very few. And it does not have to cast heal, or there could be several levels of it. One casts cure minor, next casts cure serious, third casts cure critial, and last cast heal.. Should probably be available to serious followers of Aeridin. Servants that have  proven themselves on the path of light. No mere worshipper should be able to wield such power..

Well, I found a problem with this idea; there isn't a property you can add to items that allow you to heal on hit.

also, should you add these on hit abilities somehow, cure minor is kinda silly since odds are you will deal more damage then you heal efectivly making it very nice against undead but pointless in the sense of the way it's designed to be used
