Choose Rostrum for Sirin Grace+Spirit dagger melee—The Erstroot for Oscelda Spirit Magick after Wraith of Wastes farms. — Soulframe weapon comparison.
Uncommon Dendrit Short Blade with Grace and Spirit attunement, a 12 Spirit gate, 41 ATK, and 82 charged damage. Farm two fragments from Banneret, Kabocha, or The Mendicant King. Kabocha's Cogah variant offers a second fragment roll alongside the standard encounter, and Avakot sells the weapon for 230 Dracs when farming isn't practical. The Spirit gate pairs naturally with Grace-leaning Dendrit builds that want reach without committing to a full Magick loadout.
The Erstroot is an Uncommon Wevetroot Magick staff requiring 16 Spirit, with 40 ATK and 6% smite. Obtain the whole-weapon preview from Wraith of Wastes in Sidae's Stake, then refine it at Tuvalkane. The Cogah variant of Wraith of Wastes offers a second chance at the whole-weapon preview roll, and Avakot's 220-Drac Wares of Zenith purchase skips the boss fight entirely for players who'd rather buy in. As part of the Wevetroot Wazzard set, it pairs visually and mechanically with other Wazzard-line gear for players building around that aesthetic and Spirit-focused kit.
