 *Prior to [[0.24]], silver only did extra damage to chaotic and mutated creatures, with [[steel]] dealing extra to all monsters.
 *Prior to [[0.18]], [[sling bullet]]s and [[bolt]]s could have brands, one of which was silver.

 For non-shapeshifted players who have [[mutation]]s, the damage varies by how much you are mutated. All external sources of mutation count, and for [[demonspawn]], all [[demonspawn mutation]]s count. Otherwise, mutations innate to species (e.g. Octopode tentacles) don't count. The amount of mutations is tallied and converted to damage (max. 15 mutations):
-  normal_damage * ( 5*mutations + 100 ) / 100  [rounded down]
+  normal_damage * ( 5 * mutations + 100 ) / 100  [rounded down]
 The silver damage thus varies from 105% to 175%, for 1 to 15+ mutations. All mutated monsters are considered chaotic, so they'll always get max damage from silver.
