Where to find

• * Looted from the table next to Abdirak in the Shattered Sanctum.

Notes

• While the item description says 'chance,' the chance to inflict  Bane on hit is 100%.
• The duration of the Bane effect is 2 turns, and does not stack.
• The second effect of the wielder taking 1d6 piercing damage triggers until the wielder is below 35% Hit Points, not 25% as per the description. (As of Version 4.1.1.3956130 - November 2023.)
• The  Savage Attacker feat will result in the secondary damage being re-rolled higher.
• Effects which reduces incoming piercing damage reduces the self-inflicted damage.
  • However, this self-damage is classified as magical and so effects like Heavy Armour Master or Force Conduit will not help, but Magical Plate will.
