When consuming a Corpse, there is a [40 - 50]% chance to also create a decaying Skeletal Simulacrum that seeks enemies but cannot attack. When it dies, it explodes for 450 Shadow damage. This effect is treated as a Macabre Skill.

One of a pair of twin daggers, forbidden from ever meeting. Nearby corpses shudder in its presence.
