Jagged Point

The Jagged Point is a common javelin that the ‘Ivrit Revival Movement uses in ranged melee combat. Its mysterious iron alloy tip easily pierces most armor. Two sharp blades orbit and swirl around the spiked spearhead, giving it slashing as well as piercing damage. But only the most sharp-witted warriors can wield this without injuring themselves.
