Aspergillum - This lightweight metal device looks like a small club or light mace. Each contains a reservoir that can hold up to 3 pints (three flasks) of holy water. By shaking the aspergillum as a standard action, you can sprinkle one flask of holy water onto a target within melee reach.

Many adventurers prefer using an aspergillum to dispense holy water rather than throwing or pouring out the contents of a flask.
