  But....black soul gems can solely trap humanoid souls so it really wouldn't be unique. In fact the glitch arguably makes it more unique.

  Yeah, I agree it should be fixed but I don't see how it makes it less unique. Unless you're talking about Azura's Star. The subject was the Black Star so I took your final sentence as saying the Black Star's uniqueness was hampered by this glitch. Nevermind then, I agree.

  Spell Absorption allows you to maintain Vampiric Grip indefinitely.

  I discovered it with the Atronach Stone - not sure how well it will work with lower amounts (Miraak's gear, Atronach perk)

  Vampiric grip has two components:

  • Grab Actor
  • Bloody grip cloak effect

  The cloak is cast on yourself constantly (it's a concentration spell) so I guess it's this part that you are absorbing?  If this is the case it is also the part of the spell that absorbs the health and does damage so when it's absorbed does it stop doing any damage? 

  Never thought about it but it might be an interesting use.  The damage isn't very good (only 15/s, halved on master) but the spell provides amazing crowd control, I'd gladly trade the damage for the ability to use it indefinetly.  Might be something interesting to try out with 100% absorb via potions.

  Yep, it's the cloak effect. Didn't see the need to give the specifics to consolers that didn't need to know anyway

  I think it might slightly lower the damage effect though (because you're absorbing the cloak)
