It's about eight feet tall, and has grown to that height in about three months. Its stem has a pink-purple-green tint with segments like bamboo. The leaves are about a foot wide with seven sections/prongs each, and also have a purple tint, though not as distinct as the stem. The berries are the most unique. They're clustered in spear shapes. The individual berries are spikey and a dark periwinkle color, with one spot that's magenta or hot pink. Any ideas?

Sounds like pokeweed, although I haven't seen one that's 8 feet tall...yet. Check out the picture on this website.

Go to Dave's Garden online and check out any of the various plants known as "voodoo lilies" I have one of these myself and although I've never seen a flower or berries on mine, perhaps one day I will. The description you gave sounds otherwise suspiciously similar!

Although I can't make a positive identification on the plant without more info or a picture.,my best guess is that it is pokeweed "Phytolacca" americana.
