A weapon of this nature appears unremarkable, exactly as any normal trident. 

The wielder of a trident of submission causes any opponent struck to save versus magic. 

If the opponent fails to save, it must check morale the next round instead of attacking; if morale is good, the opponent may act normally next round, but if it is poor, the opponent will cease fighting and surrender, overcome with a feeling of hopelessness. 

The duration of this hopelessness is 2-8 rounds. Thereafter the creature is normal once again. 

The trident has 17-20 charges. A trident of this type is a +1 magic weapon.
