Soul Dagger

Soul Dagger is a Necromancer class weapon granted by the Dark Priest ability. At the start of each battle, cats without a weapon receive this temporary blade. It deals 5 melee damage and has a unique ally-targeting mechanic: hitting an allied cat steals one of their spells at random for the wielder's bonus ability slot. If it downs an ally, the dagger becomes Charged for the rest of the battle.

The spell theft mechanic is the Soul Dagger's defining feature: each time the wielder strikes an ally, they steal one of that ally's spells and load it into their bonus ability slot. This replaces whatever spell was there previously, so the Necromancer can cherry-pick powerful abilities from teammates by striking the right ally at the right moment. Downing an ally with the dagger upgrades it to the Charged Soul Dagger, which doubles damage and adds Lifesteal.

Soul Dagger pairs naturally with Necromancer builds that include resurrection passives, since downing an ally to Charge the dagger is only acceptable if you can bring them back. Target allies with powerful one-off spells to effectively double-cast effects in a single turn. Because the dagger is temporary and granted each battle, the Necromancer is never short of a weapon even when the rest of the party scrambles for equipment.
