Blood Weapon (ability)

Blood Weapon , also known as Sanguine Sword, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. Often a form of Limit Break, it grants the user the ability to drain an opponent's HP to heal themselves when attacking, similar to the Blood Sword and other blood equipment weapons.

Blood Weapon is the Dark Knight special job ability usable from level 1. While in affect, every successful physical attack on foes will be matched in HP drained and subsequently added to the user's current HP. Certain types of enemies can reduce the amount gained. Undead foes are immune to Blood Weapon. Blood Weapon also does not increase the damage done, and has no effect on accuracy. It has a recast of 1 hour.

The Emperor gains the "Blood Magic" ability in his EX Mode, which functions identically to Blood Weapon.
