The Mace is designed for one thing to brutalise other players, and it does it very, very well. Early versions were linked to fatalities, but subsequent revisions have limited the Mace's capabilities to severe concussion and temporary unconsciousness. The Mace fires a wide burst of highly charged but rapidly dissipating gravitrons which also has the added effect of being able to launch the wielder rapidly through the air if aimed directly underfoot. This gravity jumping, when combined with the already devastating effect of the Mace, has seen a spectacular manoeuvre enter into tournament play - the dreaded Death from Above. Unfortunately, the Mace is hideously inaccurate when used to fire the ball, to the point where the saying "as rare as a Mace goal" has found common usage among Steel Halo commentators. The ball will shoot out at a random angle, with random Coil, making it quite difficult to pass or shoot at targets of opportunity.
