Its AC, SInv and Int bonus are useful early on, but a mace is too weak a base weapon to be good against later-game monsters, even those vulnerable to holy wrath.  Casters who don't do much melee might want it, though.

The mace of Brilliance is an excellent find early on due to its bonus AC, intelligence, and solid enchantments, and its holy wrath brand will make short work of any undead or demonic opponents encountered in the early- or mid-game. Unfortunately its significant stealth penalties coupled with its halo mean you'll never go unnoticed. Maces are weak base weapons, rendering the mace of Brilliance a mediocre choice for the late game unless you're a caster simply using it to enhance their spells and provide some defense.
