Inflicts miscast effects on the target related to the target's spells on hit.
Desirability
Predictably enough, "Spellbinder"[1] is useful when facing spellcasters, but somewhat unimpressive against more mundane opponents. A demon whip is a powerful weapon, but you can certainly find or enchant better, especially when you consider that its antimagic brand inflicts no additional damage and penalizes your own spellcasting abilities.
That being said, when used against spellcasters, it handicaps their ability to use magic against you and afflicts them with an unpredictable array of miscast effects, which more than makes up for Spellbinder's middling offensive capabilities. You'll probably want a different weapon for more general use, but keeping Spellbinder around as an alternative weapon for fighting spellcasters is an entirely valid option.
As an evil weapon, worshipers of the good gods will be penalized if they attack with it.
