A dark and malign artefact. It increases the potency of hexes cast by anyone unwise enough to risk wielding it |

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 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.
History
Prior to 0.12, this weapon did not enhance Hexes, made noise while equipped, and only reduced your HP by 3.
