It is the creation of a mad god, and carries a curse which transforms anyone possessing it into a prune. Fortunately, the curse works very slowly, and one can use it briefly with no consequences worse than slightly purple skin and a few wrinkles.

Desirability

The glaive of prune is a straightforward enough artefact: a +4, +12 glaive of chopping. In spite of the fact that the whole "prune curse" business is joke, Zin still hates it. Other characters who happen to use polearms can benefit from it in the early- and mid-game; even though glaives are fairly bad weapons, and you'll eventually be better off with a bardiche or demon trident, it's got significant enchantment bonuses and shouldn't be skipped over if you haven't gotten a proper end-game weapon yet.
