Characteristics edit

The archdemon whip features a design of a purple-skinned demon with a long pointy tail holding a red crystal orb on its handle, a sharp blade at the end of its lash shaped like a demon's tail, and many purple scales covering the lash. In the whip's original appearance, it could occasionally prevent the wielder from taking an action in battle. But, like many other cursed pieces of equipment, it could be used normally in XI and even has a chance to inflict beguilement when attacking demons. Its color also changed to charcoal grey instead of purple.
