Notes
This scepter focuses on single-target damage. Although it has poor lightning damage and is limited to a few targets, its redeeming feature is the shockblast. Uniquely, the shockblast scales with Attack. On a Sorcerer maxed in both ATT and WIS, this will be the highest DPS scepter (against 1-2 targets).

It scales very well with high ATT items, like the Vesture of Duality, Diplomatic Robe, and the Fractured Hannya. You can use consumables such as an Effusion of Attack or Tincture of Courage can raise your damage to devastating heights.

The main weakness of this scepter is the low number of targets, so you should carry another scepter as a swapout. Stacking ATT and WIS often means sacrificing DEF/HP, making the Sorcerer even more frail. It also has a small targeting cone and a small shockblast radius, making it harder to aim. Regardless, this is a great scepter against bosses, and devastating when paired with ATT-focused gear.

History
When this item was first added into the game, it was not soulbound due to an error that was made by DECA. This resulted in the item being sold for enormous amounts until this was patched a day later.

Before Exalt Version 3.0.0.0 (Aug 2022), this and all other scepters lacked Shockblast damage. Its base damage used to be 820 and hit an additional target for every 20 WIS over 50. There was no ATT scaling.

Before Exalt Version 4.1.4.0 (Feb 2024), the shiny variant of this item had the following sprite:
