 ===Compared to double sword===
-On most species, [[double sword]]s are mostly equivalent to demon blades. If both weapons are at minimum delay, a +0 demon blade is 1% stronger than a +0 double sword against a 0 AC opponent. As the demon blade attacks faster, it is penalized more by [[AC]], though it benefits more from [[slaying]] and [[auxiliary attack]]s.
+On most species, [[double sword]]s are about equivalent to demon blades. If both weapons are at minimum delay, a +0 demon blade is 1% stronger than a +0 double sword against a 0 AC opponent. As the demon blade attacks faster, it is penalized more by [[AC]], though it benefits more from [[slaying]] and [[auxiliary attack]]s.
 Overall, the differences are too small to make an impact. A +9 demon blade is enough to win you the game, as is a +9 double sword. Generally, the sword you get ''first'' should be the sword that you use. (The sword you get first can benefit first from [[scrolls of enchant weapon]]).
-For small species ([[Kobold]] and [[Spriggan]]), the demon blade will usually come out ahead, because it does not use the shield slot.

 '''Demon blades''' are one of the best one-handed Long Blades you can find. Although [[double sword]]s deal more damage, demon blades are slightly faster, with roughly the same damage/turn.
-Worshippers of [[good]] [[god]]s cannot attack with them without suffering [[penance]]. However, worshippers [[the Shining One]] can convert a demon whip into a [[eudemon blade]], with better stats and the [[holy wrath]] brand. You can reverse the process with [[Kikubaaqudgha]]'s or [[Lugonu]]'s blessing.
