Desirability
A good weapon for the early- and mid-games, but sadly a spear will be outclassed later on, even one as good as this. That being said, using it as an unorthodox magical staff for your Hexes is not a bad idea, and the reaping brand is nice for generating an army of zombie meat shields. Just don't expect to do that much damage if you use this for stabbing; polearms don't get a very big bonus for that purpose.
History
Prior to 0.12, this weapon did not enhance Hexes, made noise while equipped, and only reduced your HP by 3.
