Ok this is an awesome class I created a while back (only swords duh) but I added in a particular type of sword. Tell me what you think

Background
Spellswords are lightly armored warriors who have gained magical knowledge. They roam the world learning new magical arts and new arts of swordsmanship to add to their repituare. Spellswords tend to adventure to fund their quests of knowledge and are praised as Soldiers of Fortune.

Basic Statistics
Starting Health- 100
Energy- 25
Armors- 15-75
Max Weapon Damage- 7-55 (75% slashing, 20% magic, 5% contained)

New Stuff
Spell Attack-
Basically an Attack Skill imbued with the power of magic, most of the spellswords abilities and powers are derived from Spell Attacks. Spell attacks only work if you have a manablade equipped.

Manablade-
A magically imbued blade that the spellsword works with. Manablades have a single special effect, based on the rank of the spellswords Manaholding attribute. The spellsword can convert a certain percentage of the damage he/she deals into power, the manablade is like a container for the power absorbed. This damage is called "contained". Contained energy can be released all at once with certain attack skills or, when it reaches a certain level, decrease the amount of energy required to use skills. The maximum amount of damage that any spellsword can "contain" is 180. If he/she tries to increase that amount with skills or spells, they also lose 1% of their life to help contain the power. Releasing this energy during attacks will increase the damage of the attack by a large margin but also drains the spellsword of 50% of his/her current energy. 5% of the damage that the Spellsword deals with melee is converted into "contained" energy. If a spellsword does not use a manablade, they cannot contain energy and therefore cannot use any spell, spell attack, enchantment, or stance requiring contained energy.
