An ornate and bewitched ritual knife. Even just wielding it will cost a small piece of your health, but blows made with it against those suffering negative statuses (other than poison) have increased base damage, up to +4 for two such baleful ailments.

This weapon falls into the 'Short Blades' category. It is a one handed weapon.

Athame are ritual knives that deal additional damage against debuffed enemies. Wielding an athame removes 10% of your current HP unless that would kill you.

Useful Info

An athame deals +2 base damage against enemies with one debuff and +4 damage against enemies with at least two debuffs. Debuffs check the same list as Trickster, which means poison and constriction don't count.

Athame cannot naturally spawn with the venom brand.
