Pain Skull

[Quikpik]

What does this item actually do? I couldn't figure it out from the description.

It adds +2(?) to your attack at the cost of 50% of your mana. The skull is bound by a spell that slowly runs out as you go through battles. It starts at 100%, and when it gets to 0% you can release the soul of the necromancer trapped inside. After that then the skull becomes more powerful and no longer takes half your mana from you.

At the start of each fight your mana is halved, but you gain +2 attack and gain 50% more rage in fights.

I haven't gotten the spell down to 0%, so I can't comment yet.

+5 to int and atk. one of the best items in the game.

As sherwood said:

It halves your mana at the start of every fight, but gives +2 attack and 50% more rage.

Rage gain from Inquisitors isn't affected.

After approx 50 fights (random chance involved) it upgrades, giving +5 attack and +5 intellect (but no rage bonus). Its new form doesn't half your mana either.

Basically what I said, but I didn't want to list the exact stats because I thought it was kind of a spoiler.
