It kills summoned creatures (so if you had been less tactically astute, it would have taken down your gnolls) and disrupts mundane spellcasters. For example, Aerie and Nalia are both seriously annoyed by it. :-)
If you're curious about the buffs, check out 'solak1b.itm'. Unlike the Eclipse guys, who can get away with buffs that last forever, Kuroisan is supposed to be "just like you". However, I don't want to ForceCast everything when he shows up because that brings slow machines to a crawl for a minute. Equipping that item gives you all of his buffs with the appropriate duration. At the beginning of combat he switches to it and then back to Sanchu.
