An Obelisk Flag Stand is a PvP object found in some PvP maps. When a team claims the stand the stand or objects in the area damage opposition team members in the area. There are two types of stand; one inflicts Obelisk Lightning on a single target, the other launches fireballs which damage all foes in an area.The obelisk flag stand has a fixed position in a map. Usually there is only one on the map, equidistant from the flag spawn point for the teams.

A player can carry a flag from the spawn point to the stand, to capture it, at which point the stand begins to launch spells at opposing players. The lightning attack originates from the stand, while the Fireball attack comes from statues situated around the map, inflicting 30 damage in an adjacent area. This continues until the opposition captures the stand.
