There is. Its mechanics are incorporated into Thaumatology: Sorcery and used in the Penetrating Weapon spell that corwyn found too expensive.

However, looking at that effect it works by using Affliction (Advantage) to give someone else an imbuement ability. If you only want to use an imbuement yourself, on a weapon you're holding, it should be possible to design that at lower cost.

The cost of 44 is if you want to be able to cast that "Spell" and also improvised spells.

Sorcery spells can only be cast one at a time. You can learn spells permanently by paying 1/5 the cost.

So, you would need:

Sorcerous impowerment 4 [50]
Penetrating Weapon 1 [9] (Bought at 1/5 cost)


This lets you cast any spell you want that cost no more that 4 points total, or you can cast Penetrating Weapon on any targeted weapon you want.

You can forgo the sorcerous impowerment all together and simply take Penetrating weapon 1 [44]. Its still expensive, but this lets you cast it on ANY weapon and gives said weapon that modifier.

Another option, if what you want is to summon weapons, is in Sorcery too: Create Object.

Its just as expensive, 56 points for level 1, +4 per additional level.
