The Scyphus Vitae

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

The Scyphus Vitae is a two-handed Astartes power sword wielded by Blood Drinkers Space Marines. This blade allows its wielder to drink the blood of any target which he wounds with the weapon, averting negative effects from the craving of his Chapter. The Scyphus Vitae has a unique power field permeable to the blood of foes, which it channels down a deep fuller in the centre of the blade, and from there, to an injector linked to the med-ports of Astartes Power Armour. The weapon thus allows the Red Thirst to be slaked in battle, with no outsiders gaining knowledge of this secret stain on the Chapter's honour.[1]
