Desirability
The glaive of the Guard[1] combines two great brands, electrocution and spectral, into one weapon. Assuming the spectral brand has room to activate, this unrand is about as strong as a +9 bardiche of flaming/freezing, but takes less skill to reach mindelay. However, it comes with the usual risks of the spectral brand.
Note that the spectral weapon itself does not get electrocution.
