There are some spells called "bound XXX" eg "Bound Dagger"

What does it do? (What does the "bound" mean?)

The Absorb Stat spell effect is actually divided into both permanent and non-permanent Absorb effects.

Absorb Health/Fatigue/Magicka are permanent effects and thus work the same way as the Damage Stat effect. So, Absorb Health 10 points for 10 seconds means it absorbs 10 health points each second for 10 seconds. Ultimatelly, you get +100 HP (added to your health, can go beyond your otherwise max health) and your target loses 100 HP permanently. So, the same as Absorb Health 100 points for 1 second.

Now, Absorb Attribute/Skill again work the same way as Drain Stat. Absorb Blade 10 points for 20 seconds means your opponent's Blade skill goes down 10 points for 20 seconds while your own skill goes up 10 points for 20 seconds.

Hmm... Sounds like a blade with Absorb Health enchantment will make you pretty über, provided you get in a few hits every now and then. Same with spells and bows for that matter. Have to try this. Never used Absorb Health...
