Where to find

• Shattered Sanctum X: 338 Y: -26: Near Abdirak or carried by him

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  Bless to the wielder. These do not stack with other  Bless 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 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 Sacrifice generates a  Blood surface under the user even if they have  Unstable Blood. An  Unstable Blood surface would be expected.
