Desirability

Damnation's[1] base enchantment is decent, and those who have the appropriate skill may occasionally want this. Bear in mind that the damnation explosions it generates are significantly louder than normal crossbow shots, so expect to wake up nearby foes. In addition, this weapon mulches every bolt, so you may run out of bolts quickly unless you already have hundreds of bolts or follow Trog or Okawaru.

Damnation can be found in many Gehenna:7 vaults, but may also be generated randomly.
