Metal caps the bottom of this +1 striking thundering dancer's spear and its point gives off the faint smell of ozone. If you hit a target that has been struck by a polarizing mace within the last round, you deal additional electricity damage to the target equal to the number of grounding spike's damage dice. If you critically hit such a target, the creature is Off-Guard until the start of your next turn.

Special The grounding spike pairs with the Polarizing Mace.
