This item was created at the request of a patron. He asked for a halberd using a few key words as inspiration (penniless, gaunt, and shunt). I was able to use the first two to create this item intended to feed the poor and starving.
For those curious about the name; "mana" is a divinely provided food and "syklus" is a Norwegian word for "cycle".
Update 2022-05-20: Added a limitation of the weapon only gaining charges from creatures of CR 1/2 or higher to avoid the exploit of just swatting an anthill or something.
