It would seem that the very speculation of this weapon's existence has conspired to pull it from the realm of fantasy and into the everyday -- though, as with all things that come from dreams, it is not as it truly seems. The blade is indeed vampiric, as the name would suggest, though not in the manner the finder might have hoped. It is rumored that the blade, instead of performing as one might think a vampiric blade would, was actually constructed by vampires as a trap for those that could eventually oppose them. These incredibly clever fiends have apparently fashioned numerous versions of these unfortunate blades over time, and they are the bane of all right-thinking adventurers. Each swing actually inflicts damage upon the wielder, as his life energies are drained in order to heal his intended victim. Were this not enough, the weapon is cursed so as to prevent its removal, and the user is smitten with a wasting of the mind, that he may not even think of trying to rid himself of it. This may be among the few magical treasures that are simply not worth the trouble of seeking, and one may better spend one's time having a lovely beverage, rather than gallivanting about the wilderness with a pack full of rubbish chasing phantoms.
