The '''holy wrath''' [[brand]] causes a weapon to deal additional damage (up to 150% of normal damage dealt, average 75%) to [[demon]]s and the [[undead]], and renders it immune to [[curse]]s. It can be found on any melee weapon, and radiates with a divine glow when wielded, identifying it.

The holy wrath brand is [[the Shining One]]'s special brand. At 160+ [[piety]], you can have him add the brand to any weapon of your choosing (including all ranged weapons except for [[blowgun]]s). Though it is currently impossible to acquire a temporary version of this brand, attempting to make it permanent with a [[scroll of vorpalise weapon]] would not be recommended, as doing so would fail and inflict backlash.

Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
It has been blessed by The Shining One, dealing an additional three-quarters of any damage that pierces undead and demons' armour.

The holy wrath brand does the following:

  • Against undead and demons, deals an average of +75% damage (min. 1, max. +150%).[1] This is independent from "holy" damage, so undead that are rHoly (e.g. profane servitors) are not immune to holy wrath.

Undead players (Mummy, Ghoul, Vampire, and Death Form) and Demonspawn can wield weapons of holy wrath, but the brand is disabled for them. Using the brand will offend Yredelemnul, but the other evil gods won't mind.

Sources

Holy wrath can be found on any melee weapon except demon blades, demon tridents, and demon whips (which become their blessed counterparts instead). It can not be obtained through a scroll of brand weapon. It can also be found by:
