In-game description

Glaive made from a hard, sharpened shell. Wielded by the pests who emerged from the Swamp of Aeonia. Slightly increases non-physical damage negation.

Though men might recognize the keen intellect of the pests evidenced by this spear's uncanny design, it will never be understood by them.
