Desirability

In most situations, the glaive of Prune<ref>Template:Source ref</ref> is just a +12 freezing glaive. It's around the level of a +9 bardiche of freezing (slightly weaker), but takes less skill to wield effectively. Characters who use two-handed Polearms will find it a good weapon.

In addition, the prune "curse" reduces damage when afflicted with some of the most dangerous status conditions in the game. It takes a large amount of willpower to completely resist enemy Hexes, so this glaive is quite useful as another safeguard. There are also some partially irresistible ways to be paralyzed or put to sleep without a species/form specific resistance.

As it is a transformative artifact, followers of Zin will incur penance when using the glaive of Prune.

The prune curse will also activate if and when you die, but at that point, there's no saving you.
