This arcane staff is slightly tingly to the touch and stands as a bright beacon designed to mesmerize mice that lurk in darkness. Its mysterious glow and refreshing minty smell gently coax unruly Forgotten mice into a deep sleep.




The Obelisk of Slumber is the first Arcane type weapon to be released. It also serves as the basis for crafting the more powerful Arcane type weapons.
