Default Astral Serpent

I am trying to understand how this item works. Does it provide an additional attack for each attack that is made succesfully (wins against the defense check)? Or does it make an additional attack for each (non-range?) attack already existing, whether it is succesful or not?

So let's imagine a Great Kraken with quicken self: do I get:
- 10 Astral Serpent Attacks (2 for poison cloud and 8 for tentacles)?
- 8 Astral Serpent Attacks (8 for tentacles)?
- 1 Astral Serpent Attack for each succesful tentacle strike?

Anyone used it with success?

I am fairly certain it adds a single attack (3 damage armor negating + death poison.)

The added attack works just like any other weapon attack, but it doesn't count against multiple-weapon penalties.

I think you should be able to repel attacks with the astral serpent, but I can't say I have experienced with it.

Haven't tested it myself, but judging by the wiki, despite what the item's flavour text says it's just 1 (one) additional AN attack on top of whatever the wearer already has. Kind of like a Dancing Trident.

A quickened Great Kraken would only get 2 Astral Serpent attacks, I think.
