Effect
A weapon upgrade provides the following bonus to the wielder:


 * 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 one 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.

Zealous weapons merely cause the attacker to gain energy when they hit with an attack, not steal it from the target in the way that vampiric weapons steal health.
