Spread the light, my child.

Base accuracy: -2 Base damage: 13 Base attack delay: 1.6 | This weapon's minimum attack delay (0.7) is reached at skill level 18. | Drain: It sometimes drains living victims (1/2 chance). This deals an additional one-quarter of any damage that pierces defenders' armour as well as a flat 2-4 damage, and also weakens them slightly. | Demonic: It occasionally summons demons to assist the wielder when it strikes in combat. | Mesm: Its wielder is mesmerised by any visible foes, and it cannot be unequipped while any foes are visible. | ^Drain: It drains your maximum health when unequipped. | Fly: It grants you flight. | SInv: It lets you see invisible. | This broad axe falls into the 'Axes' category. It hits all enemies adjacent to the wielder, dealing less damage to those not targeted. It is a one-handed weapon.
Henzell says...
  1. A +16 drain broad axe that mesmerises you whenever a monster is in sight. SInv, +Fly, *Drain, sometimes summons a usually-friendly demon (3 or 4) when you kill stuff. Also cures confusion when you're mesmerised. Cannot be unwielded while you are mesmerised, in prior versions always re{curse}d itself whenever wielded.
  2. Its mesmerisation ignores clarity.
  3. Visions of slaying the oklob plant flood into your mind. You cannot move away from the oklob plant!
