A lightweight, blackened metal pole, tipped with a tiny spiked ball that glows and crackles with small arcs of lightning when readied.

[[toc]]

-   +1 to attack and damage rolls (1d10+1).

### Shocking Damage

When struck, target must **Save vs Wielded** or take an additional 2 points of lightning damage and be [paralyzed](/rules/adventuring.html#paralyzed) for 1d4-1 rounds.

### Usage Die

-   Starts at d8.
-   After each use, roll the current die, and on a 1-2, the die drops one step (d8 -> d6 -> d4 -> 1), as the glow becomes dimmer.
-   When no more charges are left, [Shocking Damage](#shocking-damage) effect is lost.
-   May be recharged by a [Morlokk Master](/bestiary/morlokks/morlokk-master.html) or [Emperor](/bestiary/morlokks/morlokk-emperor.html) with a short ritual.
