Shattered Flail is a rare Mace with a +2 Enchantment that heals the wielder when they hit an enemy - at the cost of potentially going mad when they stop attacking.
A bundle of bones and blood - and a soul-piercing demonic presence - is all that remains of the Flind's flail. It would make a decent mace with a particularly nasty bite.
