I feel that if it is not to function like it does on your hand, and is dormant so to speak on your weapon, that you shouldnt be able to use your weapon as an extension of your hand and make a touch attack with your weapon to discharge the spell, but that you ~must~ swing and do damage to activate the spell, making the whole concept a little silly imo.</blockquote>
