Although [[good]] [[god]]s frown upon the use of this weapon, worshipers of [[the Shining One]] can use his last ability to convert a demon trident into a [[trishula]] of [[holy wrath]], an excellent option for use in the end game. You can revert a trishula back to a demon trident by praying at an altar to [[Kikubaaqudgha]] or [[Lugonu]] at max piety, though this is rarely a worthwhile trade.

A terrible three-pronged weapon, moulded by fire and brimstone.
This weapon falls into the 'Polearms' category. It is a one-handed weapon.

Demon tridents are the best one handed polearms, dealing significantly more damage than regular tridents. Though a demon trident is slightly weaker than a demon blade or demon whip, their reaching ability helps make them more desirable.

Worshippers of good gods cannot attack with them without suffering penance. However, worshippers of the Shining One can convert a demon trident into a trishula, with better stats and the holy wrath brand. You can reverse the process with Kikubaaqudgha's or Lugonu's blessing.

History
