Little Agony (Corrupt Millennium Tree Weapon):
It is amazing what can be produced by the twisted magic which is used to produced Corrupt Millennium Tree items. One of these is known as "Little Agony" and might be considered the smaller version of the Millennium Tree weapon known as "Agony." The weapon known as "Little Agony" is produced from a Millennium Tree Wand which is twisted into the form of a long knife or short sword which produces extreme pain when it strikes an opponent. The weapon must hit directly on flesh and both body armors and force fields offering protection against the effect. The pain starts off at the wound site but travels through the entire body and can last several minutes. This pain is enough to virtually disable an opponent although in some cases the magic can be resisted especially by those with strong constitutions. Unlike most other corrupt Millennium Tree items, the magic item does not have any additional spell abilities. Still, the magical energies which are inherent in all Millennium Tree wands and staffs can be used by a spell caster wielding the twisted wand.
The magic which creates the magic item completely twists the appearance. The weapon has a twisted blade similar to Kris style weapons which is sharp on both sides. The feel of the twisted wand is nothing like wood but feels more like it was made from metal and is a matt black which seems to absorb all light as if the weapon is trapped darkness. The edges of the blade of the weapon are extremely sharp and the twisted blade comes to a sharp point for stabbing. While the twisting pattern is mimicked on the handle, the grip is comfortable.
