I know how to give the sword:
Absorb 20 health per hit
Absorb 20 stamina per hit
However, while I know how to put soul trap on it - it means having soul gems. Is it possible to somehow place Soul Siphon (as the perk) on the blade?
Other thoughts? I want to play Elric of Melnibone and conceptualize him as: High Elf with all level points put into magicka so that he is dependent on his sword for health and stamina.....
