Magic Weapon Tattoo

[RTP]

Hey guys, I need some really hard core gamer help.

The thing is, I remember somewhere reading about magic weapons that can be "stored" upon a person that wields them (it could be from some 3rd ed book).

Now the thing I do not remember is how it is achieved. Is it ability you enchant on a magic weapon or some magic tattoo that is inscribed upon a person.

Do any of you remember something like that from 3rd edition?
Pls help, TY.

There's a spell that does this, but I can't remember what the name was. I think it was in the Book of Vile Darkness and maybe Complete Adventurer. Ah... It's in the Spell Compedium as absorb weapon.

Yeah, but that is not it.
The thing I'm looking for has permanent effect.

It must be in some 3rd ed book that has to do something with magic.
I got rid of my 3rd ed books a looong time ago so I do not even know what the book is called.

The DMG has item creation rules at the end of the wondrous item section. Apply the price of the "absorb weapon" spell to the "Continuous Effect" line (I don't remember the numbers) and you've got a suggested price for the weapon.

This power is very, very good. As a DM, I would make it double or even quadruple price.
