Notes

• This weapon looks to be an earlier version of the Shattered Flail
• This weapon also looks to be unfinished.
  • The in-game quote is more like a description which is higly unusual.
  • The quote says it may deal Psychic damage or Paralyse. This is false it can only apply madness.
  • The Psychic damage is also not shown in the tooltip outside of the quote.
• The calculation for the saving throw shown in the tooltip may be wrong, but always results in 13.
  • It may for example say 8 + 3 + 3 = 13 and state modifiers for other abilities than wisdom.
