Vlad's Gauntlet

Abilities
Allows player to drain health from a enemy to fill their own health bar.

Pros

 * Gives complete immunity to arcane-based attacks.
 * The life-leeching attack is useful in a pinch.
 * Can recover health even when shielded. (not anymore since latests versions)
 * Is extremely effective with the Cyber or Space robes, as you are immune to both life and arcane.

Cons

 * This weapon effect is bugged as of right now (patch #12, version 1.3.5.4), the effect does not wear off unless the wielder picks up another staff, activates a checkpoint (some players have stated that an automatic checkpoint is not enough, it needs to be one you activate yourself) and dies.
 * Since the health element is reversed with this weapon it is possible to kill yourself with the heal element.
 * Does not make you a Vampire.
