Here Ye! Here Ye! The Suicide Charm of Death!
If you want to seriously destroy everything in your path charm a lava beetle
and give it swift like the wind. Quad attacks for 90 to 120 each. The only
problem is you die instantly once the charm wears off so try and let beetle
monster die in combat.
Good fun if you have some exp to waste.
