Effect
A weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the weapon (the user respectively):


 * Energy gain on hit: 1
 * Energy regeneration: -1 (i.e. -1 energy per 3 seconds)

Every time a zealous weapon hits a foe the attacker will gain the specified amount of Energy.

To balance the energy gain, zealous weapons always come with -1 energy regeneration, which continues as long as you have the weapon equipped. Therefore, it's generally a good idea to switch to another Weapon Set while not engaged in combat.

Contrary to popular belief (and unlike its counterpart the Vampiric weapon), Zealous weapons do not drain energy from your opponent.
