The Spear of Moonshade is an artifact from before the War of the Gods. Presented by the God Targon to Moonshade, the first female leader of the Wolf Clan, the spear is impressive yet simple. The wood is a stout oak, strong and sturdy like the woman herself. The spear head is made of platinum and etched with magical runes. On command the spear can crackle with lightning which doesn't harm the user, but makes it look impressive.
The spear works as normal, either for stabbing or throwing, but it has a long haft so is not really meant for throwing. It can also double as a quarterstaff because it is made of such a stout wood. There are several special properties laid upon it. One, it uses magical lightning. On command, or when the user becomes anger or agitated, lightning will appear crackling about the weapon. The lightning does 1d6 + (level of the user) worth of damage on a successful hit. The weapon also acts as a +5 weapon, giving a bonus against one particular creature the user particularly in hate. (In Moonshade's case it was ogres.).
The weapon also protect the user from foul magic (giving the user a +5 to their save versus magic) and against poison (+5 versus poison) if the user is holding the weapon when attacked by such things.
Targon is particular on who can use this weapon. He has been known to take it and hide the spear if he doesn't like the person in possession of it, even though he is not supposed to meddle in the affairs of mortals. It is rumored he loved Moonshade deeply and this is why he does such things.
