[RolandOfGilead]

Weapon Balm
Conjuration (healing)
Level 1
Components: V,S,M.
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: *Special*
Target: *Special*
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will half (Harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (Harmless)

You apply a specially prepared salve to a weapon that has inflicted a wound or wounds to your target. This has the effect
of healing some of the wound(s). The range between you and your target does not matter, but you must be aware of your target and you must be on the same plane. The target is healed 1d12+1 / level. (Max: 5). Note that you must actually be touching the weapon that inflicted a wound on a character from which he still suffers.


You could make a spell like this for all the cure wounds variants, and further, an inflict version...

Blood Balm:
Necromancy

Casting time: 1 minute.
Range: *Special*
Target: *Special*
Saving throw: Fortitude Half.

You apply a specially prepared salve to a weapon that has inflicted a wound or wounds on your target. Sympathetic Magic tears into the wound from across any distance. You must be aware of your target and on the same plane of existence.
The target suffers 1d12 damage +1/level (max:5).Note that you must actually be touching a weapon that is still coated in blood from a wound inflicted by the weapon from which the target still suffers.

Very interesting idea. The concept would work especialy well for an unusual prestige class.

Increase the level by two, at least. If you think about it, this is the spell that makes moving unneeded. You can do everything from the safety of home, occasionally nipping out to scratch someone with a dagger, then teleporting back home to destroy their soul from a safe distance.

And think of the political implications. Untracable assassinations! Cast it on the weapon 10 or fifteen times while the king is sleeping, and WHAM!

It's the lack of a range requirement that makes it so good.

You must also consider that the casting time of the necromantic - inflicting version is 1 minute. Yes, a man could teleport in and knick you with a dagger, teleport out, and start casting this spell.
However, anyone of importance will likely heal the initial wound caused by the dagger, and thus prevent the spell from coming into effect at all. Remember, the target must still suffer a wound from the weapon that the caster has in his possession - and the weapon must still be coated in his blood.
