A mace with a head covered in short spikes. Trading increased force for only slightly reduced manoeuvrability, this weapon can be deadly in the hands of a well-trained combatant. "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

This weapon falls into the 'Maces & Flails' category. It is a one handed weapon, and it is better for the strong.

As far as Maces & Flails go, morningstars are pretty sub-par. They're only slightly more powerful than flails, but are considerably less accurate, and weapons like demon whips and eveningstars completely outperform them.
