Vorpal is a brand which any weapon may have. Melee weapons with the vorpal brand do between +0% and +33% additional damage each hit, averaging +16.6%. Ranged weapons do 20% more damage.
The displayed brand name differs by weapons type:

- Short Blades - Slicing
- Polearms - Piercing
- Maces & Flails, Staves - Crushing
- Long Blades - Slashing
- Short Blades - Stabbing
- Ranged weapons - Velocity
While vorpal-branded weapons can be found randomly, you can also make your own through use of a scroll of brand weapon on a non-branded, non-artifact weapon. This may be a waste, however, as the scroll can also be used to affix several other more useful brands.
