Morningstars have the best damage of all the common one-handed weapons, although no special abilities such as [[cleaving]] or [[reaching]].

A mace with a head covered in short spikes.

"Little did then his pomp of plumes bestead
The Azteca, or glittering pride of gold.
Against the tempered sword; little his casque,
Cay with its feathery coronal, or drest
In graven terrors, when the Briton's hand
Drove in through helm and head the spiked mace;
Or swung its iron weights in shattering sway.
Which, where they fell, destroyed."

-Robert Southey, _Madoc_. 1805
