Desirability
Using the obsidian axe can be more than a little irritating, but its excellent stats may make up for it. If you are wielding this broad axe and a monster is visible, you will be mesmerized and restricted from moving any farther away from the monster: "Visions of slaying the [monster] flood into your mind." If there are multiple monsters, you will fixate on the closest one. When mesmerized by the axe, you lose any current confusion and gain temporary clarity (suggesting a possible emergency use, if you lack potions of curing). Unwielding the axe (by scroll or Tukima's Dance) dispels all forms of mesmerization, even if mermaids/sirens are involved.
Every time you attack in melee with it, there's a 10% chance of summoning a friendly common demon (60% chance of Tier-4; 40%, Tier-3).
History
The obsidian axe was added in 0.8.
