An elaborate flail whose handle doubles as a candleholder.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
There were a number of candlelit statues at which Aubrey prayed before setting about his deadly work, asking for strength for himself and mercy for his corrupted comrades, that their suffering be brought to a swift end and their souls welcomed into Orius' light.

Set bonus — Flickering Flail
A one-handed and a two-handed special attack, each with its own cost and animation, plus an area explosion and a set of Radiant magic shots. The only single-weapon set with distinct abilities per stance.
The only weapon in its set — the bonus is on the weapon itself rather than on a pairing.
What it takes
Meet the weapon's stat requirements and the special attack is available — at any upgrade level, with no quest to finish first.
Set membership is read from the weapon's own ItemTags in the game files.
What the bonus does is described from its ability assets. Unlock conditions were removed by patch 2.5.593 on 15 August 2026; before it, several
of these were gated behind questlines. The game itself never mentions any of this.
