Thrown
Weight: 1
Handling: 1-handed
A wide-bladed dagger used both as a currency but also in rituals. When wielded by the Kikongo, it is capable of being used as a magical focus. When used to finish an opponent off or when damaging an opponent, it saps the lifeforce of the victim and empowers its wielder. Those that strongly believe in the concept of Nkisi believe these knives hold spirits of their own.
