Desirability
The Spriggan's Knife[1] is an incredibly powerful item for stabbers. Monsters who are distracted, confused, or even those who haven't noticed you yet will have a 50% chance to take a sleep-tier stab, which is often a one-shot for a character with good Short Blades and Stealth skill.
There are many ways to get stabs, even against monsters with extreme HD or willpower. All monsters can fail to notice you, only a select few monsters are immune to throwing nets, even fewer are immune to a wand of light, and Uskayaw's Line Pass works on any enemy. Gozag, allied summons, or animated undead can distract enemies, which monsters are not immune to.
Unfortunately, it isn't much use to other characters unless you find it very early on, since an unbranded dagger is a poor weapon for general combat.
