A mugger attacks you. You need to defend yourself but at the same time you can bless them with Holy Water Infused Mace to show you hope for their salvation someday.

This idea is pre-heated ... https://en.wikipedi...wiki/Earthly_Powers
... in Anthony Burgess' novel; there's an exorcist character who uses it (except with ammonia, not capsaicin). [pertinax, Nov 09 2024]

History of the mace https://en.wikipedi...%20arms%20of%20war.
It is popularly believed that maces were employed by the clergy in warfare to avoid shedding blood (sine effusione sanguinis). The evidence for this is sparse and appears to derive almost entirely from the depiction of Bishop Odo of Bayeux wielding a club-like mace at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 in the Bayeux Tapestry, the idea being that he did so to avoid either shedding blood or bearing the arms of war.

       Yes, well, we wouldn't really want a holy water morning star now would we?   

       Also, you're closing in on my robot wars design.   

       Hey, just realized this might be good for defending against vampires too.

       LOL!   

       Yes, that exact prayer would be on the instructions.
