{{flavour|An accursed golden sceptre, created by some unknown hellish power. When used in combat, it causes agonising pain in all those unfortunate enough to gaze upon it, save for the wielder.}}

[[File:Sceptre of torment.png]] '''''the +7 sceptre of Torment'''''

+7 [[eveningstar]]

[[Pain brand]]<br>
Casts [[Symbol of Torment]] on 20% of successful attacks - the wielder is immune to these torments<br>
[[Evil]]

==Desirability==
The '''sceptre of Torment'''<ref>{{source ref|0.31.0|art-data.txt|311}}</ref> is an excellent weapon for those invested in [[Necromancy]] that can take full advantage of the [[pain brand]]. Even with no Necromancy skill, a +7 eveningstar is still a respectable one-handed weapon for a [[Maces & Flails]] user. Its auto-torment effect is very useful in a standard 3-rune game, but becomes significantly less helpful in late-game areas where most monsters are immune to torment like the [[Tomb]], the [[Hells]], the [[Abyss]], and [[Pandemonium]].
