Lore

The Shining Scepter has an enchanted glass globe at its tip that holds a white flame. It was created for night marches: the commander raises the scepter, and the whole army can see the way without lighting torches that would give away its position.

It serves the Dark Lord who guides his people through the dark. It drops from the bosses of Icarus and Aida, and it also appears among the hordes of the Kanturu Ruins and Kanturu Remains.

Forging and refining

At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
