|description =
Slam your shield into your foe's chest, causing asthma and haemophilia. If they already have
haemophilia then it'll cause them to bleed instead. You will be unable to chasten while off balance

|description =  
Only usable on a target who is prone, this attack will deal a vicious amount of damage and bleeding and will leave them with weakened senses.
Only usable on a target who is prone, this attack will deal a vicious amount of damage and bleeding.
Utilising a smaller shield will increase the bleeding while a larger shield will increase the
damage.
 
Additionally, if the opponent has five or more curable afflictions upon them, and one of them is
soulfire, it will weaken their senses and deal bonus damage. The bonus damage will increase for
each affliction over five total, and up to a maximum of ten.
 
Due to the overwhelming nature of the skill, the aura of rebounding has zero effect against it and
cannot be dodged.

{{AB
|skillname = Mace
|syntax = BIND MACE
|description =
Using your inherent link to the spirit world, you may bind any ordinary mace to your will, allowing
you to use it for various spiritual attacks, such as Smite. This will change the mace to deal
magical damage when it strikes and it will additionally prevent others from being able to attack
with your weapon.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Smite
|syntax = SMITE <target> [SECRET]
|description =
Using a mace, you may smite down another and deal damage to them. Your weapon must first be bound
to you in order to use this ability.
 
If you are part of an Order or a Congregation, then you will smite your target in your Gods name.
If you wish to hide this, simply specify the SECRET command to default the message to the godless
smite.
 
Smite can also be used in combination with Targeting from Weaponry, allowing you to target a limb
with your smite. You can read AB WEAPONRY TARGETING for more information.

{{AB
|skillname = Call
|syntax = CALL MACE
|description =
Through sheer willpower, you will be able to summon the mace that you bound to you if you have lost
it.

{{AB
|skillname = Smash
|syntax = SMASH <RIGHT/LEFT> <ARM/LEG> <target>
|description =
This ability will allow you to crush one of your opponents arms or legs using your mace with
surprising power. Doing so will incur a short cooldown before you may use this ability again.

{{AB
|skillname = Judgement
|syntax = JUDGE <target>
|description =
With your mace, you may judge that a player has committed a crime punishable by death, and attempt
to deal out your sentence. This is a channeled ability and you may not do most actions during it,
otherwise it will be interrupted. The last moment before judgement is delivered cannot be stopped
by the opponent other then by escaping your reach.
 
}}
 
{{AB
|skillname = Chasten
|syntax = CHASTEN <target> [affliction]
|description =
By directing your mace at another, you may release a bolt of dark magic that will chasten their
mental faculties. You may choose the affliction it gives if you like, or a random one will be
chosen. You must be wielding a shield as well as your mace in order to use this ability.
 
Possible afflictions you can give are:
Anorexia, dementia, hypochondria, lethargy, loneliness, masochism, paranoia, recklessness,
stupidity, or soulburn.
 
While chasten only requires that you have mental equilibrium, if you use it while you possess
balance as well then the affliction will be hidden to the target. If the target possesses all of
the above afflictions, then your mace will release a bolt of magical energy that will damage them
instead.


Due to the overwhelming nature of the skill, the aura of rebounding has zero effect against it.
