Once activated, the <em>blacklight mace</em> continues to radiate <em>deeper darkness</em> until The Dark King loses contact with it or commands it to stop (another swift action).

Creatures with saving throw bonuses against poison or compulsion effects (such as a dwarf's +2 against poison or an elf's +2 against enchantments) apply these bonuses when saving against Slave Venom.
