if the affect is on the char, then what happens if the player junks the
weapon before the affect runs out..i was thinking about adding in object
affects (basically the same as char affects) so that i could have time
based affections on objects (ie, bless, poison, etc) but..well..i haven't
gotten to it :)

to give an answer to the original question..just look at the corpse code,
and make a reproduction of it for your astral weapon..then make sure you
set the object's timer..i know that circle didn't have support for
anything beyond corpse extraction, but it was simple to change..
