Found in many Gehenna:7 vaults, and can also be generated randomly.

Desirability

Hellfire's base enchantment is very nice, and it provides the same resistances as a fire dragon armour, as well as a healthy dose of magic resistance. Those characters who can take the rC- hit may occasioanlly want this, but be sure to carry a backup weapon: the flame brand makes this weapon useless against fire-immune creatures.

History

In 0.14 bolts fired from it will inflict hellfire-flavoured damage and explode in a similar manner, with a 100% mulch rate.
