Probably the answer to my question is very boring and stupid, but still I ask:
what should I do with Spell Storing weapons?
I just can't imagine somebody not being hit by a spell stored in a weapon that has already hit him.
Lets go technical: the power says that when you strike you can cast the spell stored on the person hit. I therefore take it that the target must be a legal one, you cannot store a "dominate person" and cast it on an animal. But what happens with a lightning bolt?
Does the target have a reflex save? Were it to be a fortitude I would have no problem but...
Other case, a spell with the touch range, it would normally have a contact hit required, but I already have hit.
In short I have no idea how to actually use this essential power for weapons.
P.S. I am playing pathfinder, I do not know if the problem exists in other versions.
