Morningstars have the best damage of all the common one-handed weapons, although no special abilities such as [[cleaving]] or [[reaching]]. They are reasonable weapons to use until you find an [[eveningstar]] or a [[demon whip]], but those planning to go for 2-handed maces will probably prefer either a [[dire flail]] or (for large characters) a [[giant club]] as an intermediate weapon.

A mace with a head covered in short spikes.

"Little did then his pomp of plumes bestead
The Azteca, or glittering pride of gold.
Against the tempered sword; little his casque,
Cay with its feathery coronal, or drest
In graven terrors, when the Briton's hand
Drove in through helm and head the spiked mace;
Or swung its iron weights in shattering sway.
Which, where they fell, destroyed.

-Robert Southey, "Madoc". 1805
