True, in current game stats it is a melee only singing spear with AP (unlike a singing spear).

Fluff, Yriel only grabbed it because it was the only thing that could pierce the armor of a powerful Tyranid attacking Iyanen. It slowly siphoned off his life force every time he use it (hence the life drain).

Recently in the fluff book "The Gathering Storm: Fracture of Biel Tan" Yriel died an was brought back by having the spear plunge into his chest, the spear giving back all of the life force stole over the centuries (hence extra life). At that time it reverted to its original sword form. After being handed back to Yriel it took the spear form again.
