By using Power or by using an exclusive Powerstone? The first way is even more expensive than what I was thinking. An exclusive Powerstone would require the casting time of (Blank) Spell Arrow each time it was being reset, which is fine. However, I don't think there's a RAW way to enchant an item with the Spell Arrow spell.

You could just mount a Spell Stone socket in the hilt.
The easy way is to have your friendly neighborhood mage that's going to be making those Spell Stones for you cast the spell with Delay on the sai. No special gemstones needed. The advantage of a Spell Stone is that it doesn't count as a spell "on" for the caster. The advantage of Delay is that you don't have to Concentrate for a second to activate the effect.
A weapon that just kept on reapplying the same effect without the need for a mage to "reload" it each time is just a regular enchantment.

A sai can be thrown, hence why I went to Spell Arrow. The initial thought was Staff at range, so I'd be aiming to use this with a Blank Spell Arrow, probably with Speed Spell Arrow, too (a throwing mace made of wood could be a Staff as well. Add returning weapon for a lovely magic boomerang).
