Desirability
The plutonium sword combines extremely brutal damage output with occasional transmutations miscast effects. These miscast effects can be totally harmless, do extra irresistible damage, inflict weakness or malmutation, or even polymorph the monster. This can occasionally turn popcorn into something dangerous. If you need to unwield it, you can quaff potions of cancellation to safely reduce your magical contamination.
History
In 0.20, the enchantment was reduced to +11.
In 0.15, the enchantment was changed from +12, +16 to +14. Stealth penalty was increased to -50 from -20.
In versions 0.14 and 0.15, it was a claymore instead of a triple sword.
Prior to 0.12, this sword would curse itself when wielded and contaminated you lightly every turn you held it. Combined with the fact that it did not inflict Transmutation miscast effects, this made it extremely hazardous and much less desirable to use.
