I suspect that "shift them out" means they have a chance to get lost in time and space, as is the case that really good artifacts have drawbacks.

Actually, when you equip it, if you look at the weapon's stats it says it performs a "Dimensional shift" when you strike someone with it. With that in mind, it probably makes that person get lost in time and space.

I just tested it with the Debug mod, which you should really get to test this stuff yourself, and the rod does this;

Give quickness (+3 def/attack, extra attack)
Casts dimensional shift on someone when you hit them which makes them disappear from the battlefield. I suspect it makes them lost in time and space.
