Where to find

Notes

  • Depending on when the party members arrive, Abdirak may be carrying it, or it may be on the table or the floor near him.
  • Both effects of this weapon grant the equivalent of a 1-turn duration BlessBless to the wielder. These do not stack with other BlessBless effects, or with each other.
  • In comparison to  Ritual Axe, the self-damage caused by the dagger is not magical so it can be reduced even by non-magical damage reduction effects like Heavy Armour MasterHeavy Armour Master.

Bugs

  • The Pain Maiden's Blessing erroneously claims that the effect lasts until the end of next turn, even though it is removed at the start of it.
  • Blood SacrificeBlood Sacrifice generates a BloodBlood surface under the user even if they have Unstable BloodUnstable Blood. An Unstable BloodUnstable Blood surface would be expected.
