'''Athame''' are ritual daggers that deal additional damage against debuffed enemies. Wielding an athame removes 10% of your current [[HP]] unless that would kill you.

==Useful Info==
An athame deals +2 base damage against enemies with one debuff and +4 damage against enemies with at least two debuffs. Debuffs check the same list as [[Poltergeist|Trickster]], which means [[poison]] and [[constriction]] don't count.

Athame cannot naturally spawn with the [[venom]] brand.
