In-game description

A heretical staff fashioned from a smoldering, withered sapling that turns the blood of sacrifices pierced by it into glintstone. Similar to hex magic.

Sorceries are scaled with faith rather than intelligence when wielding this staff which enhances thorn sorceries in particular.

Attack rating by affinity 1

At Str 10 · Dex 10 · Int 10 · Fai 12 · Arc 10 (each stat at the weapon's requirement, 10 where it has none), one-handed.

Affinity	+0	Max	Damage at max	Scaling at max

Sorcery scaling by stat (Standard, +25)

Each line raises one stat from the requirement to 99 with the others held at the requirement; dashed lines are Faith's soft caps. Spell scaling multiplies the damage of every spell cast with it (100 = the spell’s base).
