Notes

• It can only be crafted using Iron Ore, not Lead Ore.
• The Soul Burn debuff is only applied to enemies within a square region that extends 9.5 blocks in each direction from the player.
• Despite the tooltip stating it increases melee damage by 5%, it increases damage reduction by 5% instead.
