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.
There is a 15.8% chance to brand a melee weapon and a 19% chance to brand a ranged weapon with vorpal when a scroll of brand weapon is used on a non-artifact weapon. This chance increases if the weapon already has a brand other than vorpal.
