First let me say that it's things like this that make most GMs not allow third party stuff...

Do I pick one spell at level 1 and that is the only spell I can ever have stored in my weapon?

It doesn't say you pick a spell when you get the ability, therefore you can choose anew every time you use the ability (which takes a standard action that provokes AoOs, by the way).

For the day, it's just as if you had cast the spell. Nothing ever removes spell slots for the future unless it very explicitly says so.

You can use the ability (not the part on the weapon but the whole stuff, including the cost of a spell slot and the standard action to activate) multiple times per day if your level is high enough. You could pick the same or different spells.

It's not a 100% hard rule, but a weapon can't usually have duplicates of the same ability, and Arcane Bladework basically imposes the spell storing ability, so presume that you can only have one instance active at a time.

As written, the spell storing ability stays on the weapon until activated, but it probably should have a limit of "until the next day".

So here's how it actually works:
As a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity, you can grant your weapon the spell storing ability, picking one spell that you know up to forth level or up to one spell level lower than the highest you can cast, whichever is lower, to store in it. The spell must have a casting time of 1 standard action. You expend a spell slot of the same level, or 1st level spell slot if it's a cantrip. Anytime the weapon strikes a...

This description makes a lot more sense, thank you

Wow. I read it as you can manifest the Spell Storing property a certain number of times per day... that's it.

You use the rules for Spell Storing to determine whether you can choose to discharge the spell on a successful atrack, or not.

You use your spells to store in said Spell Storing weapon. Like the normal spells you have as a Sorcerer. However, the spell slot is only spent when you discharge it on a successful attack.

I don't see it granting extra spells known just for the Spell Storing property... you already have multiple spells to choose from.

Yeah honestly every time I read it I'm not sure which of your reasponses is true. I wouldn't think it grants extra spells known, my main source of confusion comes from whether I have the 1 fixed spell once per day or if imbue spells once that is used up. It says "imbuing" the weapon consumes the daily spell slot... so that implies that I imbue my weapon? Doesn't that mean I imbue via spell storing rules with whichever spell I choose? It almost seems like the first sentence and that statement contradict each other.

Hello! My character recently died in my campaign and I am thinking about building a Raven-Blooded Sorcerer. I was looking at their level 1 ability called "Arcane Bladework" and I was confused how it works.

"At 1st level and once every four levels thereafter (5th, 9th, 13th, 17th), you may imbue your sword with a spell, as per the spell storing ability. The spell must be one level lower (or less) than the highest level you can cast, and no greater than 4th level. Imbuing the weapon consumes a daily use of that level spell (0-level spells still consume a 1st-level spell slot), but the spell is expended only on a successful attack. The imbued weapon loses this property if used by someone else and the use of this power is expended. If a natural 1 is rolled for the imbued weapon, it gains the broken condition until repaired. An attack with an imbued weapon with the broken condition that rolls a 1 destroys the weapon."

I am confused on what this means. Do I pick one spell at level 1 and that is the only spell I can ever have stored in my weapon? It says imbuing the weapon consumes a daily use of the spell. Does that mean once the spell has been used it is gone forever, or just until the next day. Can I use the imbued spell multiple times per day, or imbue a different spell once that use has been expended?
I am also confused about the line "and once every four levels thereafter." Does this mean I can have multiple spells stored on the weapon at the same time? Can I pop them all at once, or only once per attack? My DM and I have been looking at this for an hour and we have no idea what the rules for it are.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
