The recipe for the Orog Bastard Sword appears to be two recipes combined in one, and wants the components for both the sword, and what looks like a Vial of Preserved Blood. It also outputs both of those items.
While it's interesting to be able to literally make a blood sword, it's probably a bug.

Re: Orog Bastard Sword Recipe
This is still true. As well - unlike every other high end weapon, temporary and permanent essences do not apply a VFX to the Orog Bastard Sword. The Greatsword shows VFX fine, but the Bastard Sword does not.
It does show VFX from Blade Thirst and Holy Sword, but not essences.
