 However, the Majin-Bo drains your HP for every spell, regardless of the outcome. Vampirism only works if the target has no [[negative energy resistance]]. It is worse than useless against targets with rN+, including demons and undead. Vampirism only triggers on direct damage, so [[Hexes]] and [[Summonings]] specialists will see little benefit. And if you miss, you won't be stealing HP. Still, one cannot deny the appeal of this weapon, particularly for hybrids and characters with powerful attack spells.

 If the Majin-Bo's effect would bring you to 0 HP, the staff will leave you at 1 HP and let you cast your spell normally (with spell vampirism).
