Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Any foe damaged by it may be reanimated upon death as a zombie friendly to the wielder, with an increasing chance as more damage is dealt.

Reaping is a brand exclusive to the sword of Zonguldrok which does the following:

  • When an enemy hit by a reaping weapon dies, it has a chance to rise as an allied zombie. This scales with damage dealt: if a weapon of reaping did all the damage, you have a 50% chance to create a zombie.
Reaping works alongside Death Channel, but doesn't work with Necrotise or Animate Dead, and is overridden by Simulacrum and Infestation. Death drops (such as dragon scales) will not be created.

This is considered an evil brand. Attacking an enemy with a weapon of reaping will offend the good gods. Reaping is also ineffective while worshipping Gozag, Okawaru, or Yredelemnul (who reaps for you).

Sources

Reaping can only be found on the sword of Zonguldrok. It cannot be obtained by any other method.

However, the chaos brand has a 1% chance to add the reaping effect on any attack.
