Hmmmm....the Magic Resistance certainly isn't overpowered, but Chain Lightning AND poison with a heavy Save penalty? That just made the Storm Star (the upgraded Storm Star, mind you) completely obsolete, and that's a ToB item. Granted, Storm Star is 1-handed, so it shouldn't be as powerful, but IIRC, its chance of Chain Lightning is only 5% on hit.

As Faceman said, +4 enchantment is enough, and I personally would bring the Bleeding down: 10% chance that victim must Save vs. Death with +2 penalty or take 2 points of Poison damage every 2 seconds for the next 2 rounds.
