Acquisition
• Forged from Star Dust (TLA)

The Comet Mace is obtained by bringing a Star Dust forgeable material to Sunshine the blacksmith in Yallam. He will randomly forge the Star Dust into one of several potential items, the Comet Mace being one possibility. The player must then buy the Comet Mace from him. Being a Mace, it can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, Sheba, Mia, and Piers.

The Comet Mace's Unleash effect is Ice Crush (アイスクラッシュ, Ice Crush^?), which is effectively a standard physical attack that adds 34 damage points and then modifies the resulting damage based on the user's Mercury Power and the target's Mercury Resistance. Ice Crush may also lower the target's Defense rating by 25%. Ice Crush visually resembles the user attacking the target and a large mass of ice smashing into the target in tandem.

Though stronger than most weapons available so early, the Comet Mace suffers from being inferior to several other weapons available at the same time, including the Blessed Mace and Hagbone Mace. Furthermore, it suffers from the issue all weapons available at the start of the Eastern Sea (and indeed, most weapons in The Lost Age) have of being obsoleted extremely quickly by better weapons acquired in the various dungeons. As such, it is typically not worth using the rare Star Dust to acquire a Comet Mace over one of the material's defensive pieces of equipment.
