So, as to the question in the body of your post, yes, the vampiric touch effect will apply for each successful hit you make with your weapon for that round. However, as to the question implied in the topic-header (i.e., whether it would work with a vampiric touch cast by a bloodstone)... it would probably depend. I might let the duskblade use an already stored vampiric touch spell, but if the spell had been spent, I would not let him cast it into the weapon and then use it in the same round... It's a separate action (it's free, but it's still an action) and arcane channeling says the casting becomes part of the full-round attack action. Dandu: He's talking about the Duskblade's "arcane channeling" ability (at 13th level you can cast a touch spell as part of a full-round action and still take a full-round attack) and the "bloodstone" weapon property from the MIC, which stores and casts vampiric touch (as a spell storing weapon) and automatically empowers it.</blockquote>
