Look:	Prismatic veins within the slender diamondwood handle are accentuated by sparkling flecks of the metallic banding, widening as they move up to the weapon's head. The final band firmly secures a silvery-white chain tipped with a wickedly spiked globe at its end, darker striations visible when viewed at different angles as it swings freely in a menacing orbit around the skilled wielder.
