Desirability
The Sword of Jihad can be very useful if you can manage the berserkitis. Clarity is the best means of doing so, but it's hard to come by without being an Ashenzari worshipper. (However, Ashenzari worshippers should note that this sword cannot be cursed because it's holy.)
If you happen to have much skill in Summonings or have any other sources of generating allies (the Shining One's angelic reinforcements, for instance), you may find this weapon even more desirable, as going berserk will berserk your allies as well. This will vastly increase their combat performance, and they'll likely stay berserk long after you've returned to normal.
History
