This weapon will have 3 ratings, a TPL one, one against Prismatic Mirror wielding enemies, and a regular use one. The final rating will be an average of those two.

For TPL:
Price (1/3): the small price for its worth is good, but it can't get a perfect rating for a few reasons...
Power (2/5): For starters. It does 4.5 icons, not even five. If it's just the physical attack, Engraved Chakram does 6 icons, and there's many that do 2 or 3 icons. If it's about the dual duty physical then Black Fan of Shenkuu does 3 air, 3 physical and defends 3 physical, while Chain Spear does 6 physical AND defends 3 physical, but keep in mind that TPL has a limit of 14 total icons per turn, including defending icons and icons from abilities, so you'd only be able to use 5 more icons and your opponent might not even use physical icons for you to defend against.
Uniqueness (0/2): I think I listed enough options up there to show why this item isn't unique at all. As much as I love its art I already gave it too many points.

Overall it's not worth using. It does fractional icons, has many better options both with similar icons or just straight up better upgrades, and even then, it takes more icon slots than the usual constant, so it'd be more situational even if it didn't have fractional icons. For that it gets a 3/10

Against Prismatic Mirror:
Price (0/3): It's cheap, but you want the best option to deal with the mirror's reflection, and not only are there better, there are better at around the same price.
Power (0/5): You won't do much with 4.5 icons, and the blocking doesn't matter for what you want to use this for. For just mono icons your best option is Chain Spear. It does 6 icons just like the Chakram but at the same price as this mace, and if you dual wield it you'd be doing 12 icons of damage. If you have Yooyu Knuckle Duster or Stone Foam Finger those are also fine alternatives, since even with the light icons they still deal quite a considerable amount of physical.
Uniqueness (0/2): There's many options, and it's not even the best at what it does. Sadly that gives it a big fat 0 on uniqueness.

Overall This is not what you want, you want its younger brother Chain Spear, which takes away any use this item could ever have. For that it gets a 0/10

For regular use:
Price (0/3): It's cheap, but it doesn't really do much to deserve buying it besides having cool art.
Power (0/5): 5 attacking icons is bad, less than 5 fractional icons is just laughable. If you really wanted a physical defender than added a few attacking icons you'd get an Altadorian Swordbreaker which does 6 earth icons and defends ALL physical. If you wanted cheap constants or dual duties with similar or greater amounts of physical at a reasonable price then Rusty Pitchfork does 11 icons, 5 of which are physical, and then defends 5 more physical. Yooyu Knuckle Duster does 7 light and 7 physical icons. After that it gets more expensive with Turned Tooth doing 5 to 10 physical icons, along with 8 to 12 earth icons for a total of 13 to 22 icons total, and Stone Foam Finger does a constant 15 icons, 10 of which are physical.
Uniqueness (0/2): There's too many options for weapons that do similar stuff to this one, and some that are straight upgrades.

Overall it's weak, has better options, and doesn't even do full icons. For that it gets a 0/10

Because of that, the Average review is 1/10. It's just not worth it in most cases, and in the only case where it isn't outright garbage, it can't even do its job as well as the more limited pool of weapons available for that situation..
