Also known as the Vampire's Mace, the Mace of Molag Bal drains its victims of magicka and gives it to the bearer. It also has the ability to transfer an enemy's strength to its wielder. Molag Bal has been quite free with his artifact. There are many legends about the Mace. It seems to be a favorite for vanquishing wizards. —Yagrum Bagarn, Tamrielic Lore

The artifact can be acquired by a quest started at the shrine of Molag Bal, in the ruins of Yansirramus, two islands west of Tel Aruhn (west and a bit north of Sadrith Mora). Bal will ask you to kill Menta Na in the caves of Kora-Dur, east of the stronghold of Kogoruhn, far north of the Red Mountain Crater. See the Molag Bal's Quest for more information.

[edit] Notes

• This mace also appears in Daggerfall and Oblivion, with similar enchantments.
