The splash damage is quite weak (8 damage, as Redeyes says), but it's true that it does add up and unarmored units like Slingers will quickly be wiped out.

I went back and looked at the code just to check that I had the right numbers again.
What happens is: 1 primary attack that hits at 1 damage max.
1 attack following up the primary attack that can't be stopped with a shield that hits at 10 damage (34 total)
An attack that hits everyone in the square (still can't be parried with a shield) that hits at -16 damage (8 total).
I didn't think the 34 damage direct attack was as big as it was and perhaps it should be dialed back, but I'm not passing any judgement on it.
It looks like an ideal weapon to kill elite infantry like Tuatha Warriors anyway. The way the attack is setup with secondaryeffectalways to make it so it can't parried might also negate the glamour?
