    Default Is there a feat that...

    allows a creature with an ability that requires that creature touching the target, to channel that ability through his weapon?

    Example. Lich Touch through a Lich's staff.

    Necrotic Focus weapon enchant? MIC 39. Its a +3 equiv

    Only works with ability focus and energy drain though, not a lich's paralytic touch.

    Ahh..I thought a Lich's paralytic touch was an ability focus. Regardless, that is exactly what I'm looking for. Thought it was in the form of a feat, though. Regardless, it will work.

    EDIT: Or not..that is ability focus or level drain. I need something to channel an ability though the weapon. Ghoul's Paralysis may be a better example?

    There is nothing printed in any WotC 3.5 source that I'm familiar with. That was about as close as I could think.

    refluff ki focus to <insert ability here> channeling and add another +1 to it and you should be good.

    You know you're an epic wizard when you use a stilled silent extended quickened Gust of Wind spell to blow out the candles of your candle covered birthday cake.

    Adventurers steal everything thats not nailed down. And what is. And the nails. After all, a bag full of nails can fetch a pretty penny. No doubt they'll weaponize it, too.

    Maybe try an Amulet of Mighty Blows instead? Although its still 3 times the price of normal weapon enhancements.

    All I got is the Duskblade class feature to channel spells through weapons, around level 5 IIRC. Beyond that, zip.

    The problem here is that the lich's paralyzing touch is a supernatural attack, so Smiting Spell and the like wouldn't affect it. Oddly, neither Tome of Magic (Pact Magic section) nor Libris Mortis can help you on that.

    Still, it's not a bad idea to check on the other feats (Improved Paralysis, Contagious Paralysis) for extra punch.

    Say, maybe Libris Mortis has a spell that works for that purpose? Either that or Lords of Madness, but that'd be too consuming: that, or Heroes of Horror.

    There's Contagious Paralysis (Libris Mortis pg 25). Anyone who touches someone that you paralyze with an extraordinary or supernatural ability must Save or be paralyzed as well. I used it with a with Freezing the Lifeblood and Knockback to turn my enemies into paralyzing bowling balls. But a Lich or Ghost or someone with an undead graft could always use it with their paralyzing touch and Knockback (or Hulking Hurler) for the same effect. I know that it's not quite what you're looking for, but it's in the ballpark.
