Desirability
The sceptre of Asmodeus[1] is a powerful artefact staff which commands the fiery legions of Hell. It can only be acquired by slaying Asmodeus, the lord of Gehenna. It is considered an evil item, so the good gods frown on its use.
A method of summoning allies (some of which can be quite powerful) without using any MP is quite handy. You can use them to block dangerous foes or to support you in combat, though be forewarned that hellions and brimstone fiends will use damnation against their targets regardless of your position.
Of course, in order to get this weapon, you've already killed one of the lords of Hell. Chances are you have plenty of ways of dealing with powerful foes that don't involve a staff with only mediocre potential as a bludgeoning weapon that creates allies of dubious loyalty.
History
Prior to 0.10, this staff would fire random Conjurations and summoned hostile demons when it failed to evoke properly.
