 '''Scrolls of vorpalise weapon''' permanently give non-[[brand]]ed, non-[[artifact]] [[weapon]]s the [[vorpal]] brand. This will increases the damage output of any given attack by 0-25% (12.5% on average). While there are more powerful brands out there, nothing resists this extra damage and it's better than wielding an unbranded weapon. The displayed brand name changes depending on the kind of weapon involved:
