Each kill with this swooping blade adds bonus corrosive damage to the Djinn Sentinel’s next Fatal Attraction cast. In turn, each Fatal Attraction cast by the sentinel bestows the weapon with a period of corrosive damage.
The Gazal Machete is a unique melee weapon that serves as a companion weapon to the 
Djinn sentinel. Each enemy killed will add potential 
Corrosive damage to Djinn's radial corrosive blast, and each consecutive cast of 
FatalAttraction will buff the Gazal Machete with additional corrosive damage for a short period of time.

Notes[]
- When the Gazal Machete kills an enemy, the Djinn sentinel will gain 50 bonus Corrosive damage on its next successful cast of FatalAttraction's radial blast. This bonus can stack up to a maximum of 10 times, for a maximum of 500 bonus damage after 10 kills. These stacks reset once Fatal Attraction has performed a radial blast or when Djinn dies.
- Upon Fatal Attraction activating, the Gazal Machete will receive 25% additional bonus damage as Corrosive for 30 seconds (Reportedly bugged, bonus is not always applied correctly).
Trivia[]
- The Gazal is the first weapon ingame that has specific synergistic abilities with another item, in this case the Djinn sentinel.
- The word Gazal is the alternative spelling of Ghazal, a Middle Eastern poetic form consisting of rhyming couplets and a refrain, with each line sharing the same meter.
- The blade's profile is similar to that of the Kukri, a Nepalese/Indian knife used similar to a machete.
