Blood Bonded: Whenever anyone except its owner or a member of his bloodline attempts to wield a blood bonded weapon, they take damage equal to the weapon’s enhancement bonus (no save; no attack roll necessary). When the last member of the bloodline dies, the thorny weapon may be freely claimed (although it will bloody the new owner once the first time he grasps it). The weapon may also be freely transferred (no coercion or magical charms/compulsions) by one owner to another; with the new owner taking damage the first time grasps it.
