Blessed weapon

Blessed blades are powerful long blades that have been enhanced by the will of the Shining One. They are never found as random loot, but can be acquired in two ways.

The Shining One

Once you've achieved ****** piety with the Shining One, he gives you the option to have a single weapon blessed at his altar. A blessed weapon will have its existing brand (if any) replaced with a holy wrath brand, and is also affected as though you'd just read a scroll of enchant weapon III. Additionally, any demonic weapon you bless will become its holy counterpart:

• Demon blade -> Eudemon blade
• Demon whip -> Sacred scourge
• Demon trident -> Trishula

Finally, if the blessed weapon is a long blade, it will have its base stats enhanced as it becomes a blessed blade. The weapon will have the "blessed" prefix attached to it, turning it into, for example, a "blessed scimitar of holy wrath."

Holy Monster Drops

You can also find blessed blades by killing certain holy monsters. Angels have a 25% chance to be generated with a scared scourge, while daevas and Mennas will carry a eudemon blade, a blessed scimitar, a blessed long sword, or a blessed falchion. No other monster can generate with any type of blessed weapon. Notably, this means trishulas will never appear anywhere in the dungeon: they must be created by blessing a demon trident.

Blessed Blade Stats

Blessed blades are generally superior to the weapons they are created from, though the loss of the original brand may be undesirable for certain situations. The stats of all possible blessed blades are shown in the table below. The final stats of the blessed blade are shown, with the blessing adjustments on the base stats shown in parentheses (if any).

Long Blade	Damage	Accuracy	Delay	Min Delay
Falchion	9 (+1)	+2	120% (-10%)	60%
Long sword	11 (+1)	+0 (-1)	130% (-10%)	60% (-10%)
Scimitar	13 (+1)	-1 (-1)	130% (-10%)	60% (-10%)
Demon blade (Eudemon blade)	14 (+1)	-2 (-1)	120% (-10%)	60%
Double sword	16 (+1)	-2 (-1)	140% (-10%)	70%
Great sword	17 (+1)	-4 (-1)	150% (-10%)	70%
Triple sword	20 (+1)	-5 (-1)	180% (-10%)	70%

Destroying Blessed Blades

You can convert any blessed blade (or TSO-blessed demonic weapon) back into its non-blessed counterpart by having Kikubaaqudgha or Lugonu "bless" it at their altars. This is rarely, if ever, a good trade.
