Along with the lazy invoker, transmuter, necro theme; something similar to a lich's phylacteries; and building on unholy blessing:
azazel's metamorphosis - using a "charge" from his unholy weapon to power the spell the anti-paladin transforms his skin into a demonic shell. This is the equivalent of barrier, aura, and shield for 24 hours (ie instead of).
azazel's fury - using a "charge" from his unholy weapon to power the spell, the anti-paladin unleashes destructive invocation magic during battle for 24 hours. In game terms the weapon autocasts lightning bolt, fireball, iceball, and if the imm's wanted magic missile and chill touch.
azazel's rejuvenation - the anti-paladin consumes one of the souls stored in his unholy weapon in a matter similar to his energy drain spell. This fully heals all wounds and cannot be done again for 24 hours.
I don't know who the hell azazel is but he must be bad ass if iron grip is named after him, right?
Using up charges would give the anti-paladin a little more flexibility and give him something else to do than to collect charges until he finally loses them all in a pk. Plus these don't really give ap's much that a well prepared ap wouldn't already have.
Anyway, I think it would make the class a lot cooler. All three could cost like 50 mana and be level 51 spells to discourage level sitting.
