Hexenium is a metal found in the Void where Malakar is from. It is used to make weapons because if it touches blood attached to a person or it touches a soul, it magically poisons an enemy. This could be curses. Things like withering, blindness, deafness, weakening etc. it's also easy to enchant with magic so you can deal more damage or do cool stuff.

Malakar also has The Shroud Issued Spear. He used to serve in the military some 1000 years ago and he stopped using it when he went insane. Now that he's not as insane (hence the redesign) he is using it now.

Don't mind the coin.

His old design ^
