Mace of Contrition



The Mace of Contrition is a weapon from Hexen, the starting weapon of the Cleric. It is a short, spiked mace which does little damage and does not require mana. However it has quite a long reach for a melee weapon, so it is possible for a player to strike enemies without being in range of their target's melee attacks.

The manual states that in most cases, several hits are required to cause contrition in an enemy.

Trivia

 * "Contrition" is defined as regret and penitence for sins, which suits it well, with Cleric being a member of Cronos's Church. As the demonic foes will not demonstrate contrition even unto death, the weapon's implications in its use against demons are obvious.
