A weapon to bring forth guilt from the guilty. It was first wielded by the archangel Lucriel, who, on seeing the suffering of the first mortals, led them as an army against the cruelty of the gods. The ragged survivors of Lucriel's army took this weapon with them into the wilderness, the sole remnant of an archangel's virtue.

Desirability

Condemnation is quite useful for any Polearms user by being a +8 trishula. In addition, enemies hit by the trident will take damage equal to the damage they deal, bypassing AC and EV. This effect works especially well with summons; damage to them also triggers Anguish, and Condemnation can reach past your allies to strike enemies from a position of relative safety.

For non-summoners, Condemnation's intrinsics are nice, but its holy wrath brand is most viable for the demon-infested extended game. Outside of extended, a demon trident of a damaging brand will be more consistent. In any case, Condemnation can be used as a swapout when fighting monsters vulnerable to holy wrath.

Like all trishulas, Condemnation cannot be wielded by undead or demonspawn players.
