Trivia

 * Flavor text and effect refer to Vlad Tepes (literally "the Spiker" or "the Impaler") aka Vlad Dracul (the Devil), who was famous for torturing his enemies in a manner similar to crucifixion which involved driving wooden stakes through their digestive tracts in a way that did not quickly kill them. Vlad was also the original inspiration for the vampire "Dracula."
