In Xanthar’s, Shadow Blade is on the Warlock spell list. If a Profane Soul Blood Hunter were to learn/cast, could they activate Crimson Rite with the magically-created Blade? If so, how does that interact with the thrown/bonus action component of the spell? I imagine they could! However, as soon as the blade vanishes/is thrown, the rite fades and must be re-applied
