-==Desirability==
+==Strategy==
 Though it deals no extra damage, antimagic weapons are extremely useful against magical opponents. A well-enchanted weapon in the hands of a capable fighter will be able to cause most of an enemy's spells to fail, which amounts to semi-[[paralysis]]. As such, antimagic weapons can reduce the threat posed by powerful end-game opponents such as the lords of [[Hell]] or [[orbs of fire]] dramatically; you just have to get into melee range with the enemy first.
