Desirability

Although beefy characters, especially berserkers, can get satisfying results out of this, it can easily become useless if you get hit by a timely torment or hail of yaktaur bolts. Also, the absence of a brand makes it much less effective than you might expect. Don't use this without some means of quick escape and a solid backup weapon. Alternatively, just use a well-enchanted, branded triple sword.
