Order Details:

A glowing scepter, with a name engraved in the handle. I can't read with it says; I was hoping you could decipher it. It must have some magical powers; look at how impressive it is! It's much better than your Lance of Legends, that's for sure.

And before you ask, yes, the handle is supposed to be hard to hold. Culls the weak.
