Mace of Darkness (Magic Mace)

These weapons are used by many evil priests and warriors in the Realms. Always aligned (a priest of Bane, for example, would wield a lawful evil mace), these all-metal, fearsomely spiked +2 weapons deal 1d8 points of damage to creatures of all sizes.
The bearer of a mace of darkness can cause it, when grasped and so ordered, to create darkness 15' radius for one or two rounds, as desired. This darkness is centered on, and moves with, the mace head. Once ended, it cannot be re-invoked until two rounds have passed.
A mace of darkness will emit a snarling noise whenever it strikes a good-aligned creature (it cannot be magically confused as to the alignment). If beings of any alignment other than the mace's own attempt to wield it or grasp it, they suffer 2d4 points of electrical damage per contact or round of contact.
