A dagger of pain, this a great weapon for [[necromancer]]s; at high levels of [[Necromancy]] skill, this can wreak havoc in melee very quickly, and the [[intelligence]] boost is useful as well. Other casters may want it for the INT, but without skill in [[Necromancy]] you really won't be getting any combat use out of it. Don't expect this little dagger to be useful against anything resistant to its pain brand.

The artefact dagger Morg is an excellent weapon for anyone skilled in Necromancy. With even a small amount of training in Short Blades, its Pain brand can wreak havoc in melee very quickly, and the intelligence and magic resistance boosts it provides are useful as well. Non-Necromancy casters may want it simply for the intelligence, but without skill in Necromancy, you really won't get much combat use out of it. Even with Necromancy skill, don't expect this little dagger to be of use against anything with negative energy resistance.

Although once owned by the unique lich Boris, Morg can now only be found as random loot; he will never drop it when killed. Bringing it to him has no special effect.
