Desirability
The Force Lance[1] is a relatively strong 1-handed polearm. While a branded demon trident will deal more damage per turn, this artefact can knock enemies back, and can be found much earlier than a demon trident. Note however that for Kobold and Spriggan players this remains a 1-handed weapon, while due to their size tridents and demon tridents are considered 2-handed.
Knocking enemies into a wall, impassible terrain (like deep water or lava), or another enemy will cause some extra damage.
This artefact is more likely to spawn in the early game, where it is more likely to be useful.
