* AwesomeButImpractical / ScrappyWeapon: The powered-up Fire Mace deals exactly 10,000 damage (18-144 on bosses) and can therefore kill a non-boss monster with one sphere. However, the spheres move and bounce around very slowly, will disappear if they strike a wall before hitting a monster (terrible in tight halls), do not bounce on liquid, flying enemies generally are immune unless you fire point-blank, and ghosts are completely immune to the weapon. The weapon also follows the player's inertia complicating aiming. To top it off, the unpowered mode is like a worse version of the Hellstaff, thanks to pitiful range and zero effect on ghosts. At least it's fun to use the machine gun or power mode on weaker enemies for a laugh.
** The other use of the Mace -- against an open room filled with monsters -- is often not that useful due to the ArtificialStupidity on the homing. The powered-up Dragon Claw can be much more effective against a horde of non-boss monsters, thanks to its potent damage radius it emits in eight different directions; even ghosts can be hurt by the full damage.

The powered-up Dragon Claw [[EmergencyWeapon staff]] gains a lightning aura at the tip, and works similar to Doom's berserk punch. However, the range is still pitiful and the weapon sill can be much not affect ghosts, and the attack is less than half as strong as Doom's berserk punch. Unlike Doom's berserk, there is also an opportunity cost as you're using this weapon instead of a more effective powerful short-range option with your Tome of Power such as the crossbow (plenty of ammo available in the five episodes), or the longer-range Gauntlets of the Necromancer (which also heals you while zapping foes). It is decent against a horde of non-boss monsters, thanks to its potent damage radius Sabre Claws since it emits in eight different directions; even ghosts can be hurt by the full damage.pushes them away so they can't melee you, but you'll likely have a more practical weapon out and may as well use that.
