A fearsome-looking trident with a single, large, glowing, red gemstone set just below the tines, and the word _Parguk_ etched in orcish on the shaft.

-   +1 to attack and damage rolls (1d6+1 / 1d8+1).
-   On a successful hit, wielder can speak the command word (_Parguk_) as a free action.
    -   The target must **Save vs Spells** or become demoralized for 2d4 rounds.
    -   This triggers a Usage die check.
-   Demoralized targets must immediately make a morale check (roll under) or surrender.

### Usage Die

-   Starts at d12.
-   After each use, roll the current die, and on a 1-2, the die drops one step (d12 -> d10 -> d8 -> d6 -> d4 -> 1), as the glow becomes dimmer.
-   When no more charges are left, it becomes inert.
