''At the end of the dark steel staff, the petrified hand of a giant holds a human skull.  Flickering in its eyes are twin pricks of blue flames.''

This +1 [[Knockback (3.5e Equipment)|Knockback]] Maul is topped by a skull.  As a [[SRD:Swift Action|swift action]] usable every 1d4+1 rounds, the wielder can alight the skull in ghostly flames, giving the Maul the [[SRD:Ghost Touch (Weapon Enhancement)|Ghost Touch]] enhancement and the effect of the ''[[SRD:Chill Touch|chill touch]]'' spell on the next attack.  After striking with ghostly flames, the skull vanishes.  Every successful hit with the Maul reduces the cooldown by 1 round, and when the cooldown ends the skull reappears.

When the Maul kills a creature with at least [[SRD:Intelligence|Int]] 5, allows the Maul to glow as a [[Ghostlight (3.5e Equipment)|Ghostlight]] for an hour.  Finally, when the Maul is glowing and the skull is present, anyone hit by the Maul is made [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 1 round on hit, 3 rounds on a critical threat, or [[SRD:Frightened|frightened]] for 1 round and [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for 3 rounds on a confirmed critical hit.  Fear from the Maul overlaps and does not stack.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Magic Arms and Armor|Craft Magic Arms and Armor]], CL 10, ''[[SRD:Chill Touch|chill touch]]'', ''[[SRD:Shout|shout]]'', ''[[SRD:Sanctuary|sanctuary]]'', a humanoid skull.<br/>
Cost to Create: 10,000 gp, 800 EXP, 20 days.
