Desirability
The Majin-Bo[1] is an extraordinarily powerful weapon in the hands of an experienced conjurer, making your spells as well as melee attacks vampiric. The +6 intelligence and MP let you cast a little more often and more reliably, and its respectable enchantment level allows you to recover health by crushing weaker foes by hand.
However, the Majin-Bo forbids shields, and you lose 1 HP for every MP (this is never directly fatal). Additionally, vampiric spells only trigger on direct damage, so Hexes and Summonings specialists will see little benefit. And, as with all vampiric effects, creatures with negative energy resistance are immune. Still, one cannot deny the appeal of this weapon, particularly for hybrid characters with powerful attack spells.
Djinn have the most to gain from spell vampirism, as it is an effective MP steal. However, they have the most to lose - the Majin-Bo's HP cost means that spells now cost double to cast.
