The Oath Rod effect was something that has a chance of horror marking units in the same province as the wielder during hosting, IIRC.

The assassination attempts are from Lesser Horrors. That's actually less of a problem than wielding the Forbidden Light. The wielder has a 2% chance per turn to fall into the Void. The biggest problem might be that the wielder slowly grows insane and gets severly horror marked by it. It does give an awful lot of good combat bonuses, though, and the wielder should be good to wreak havoc for at least one or two dozen turns with it.
