Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
It has been blessed by The Shining One, dealing an additional three-quarters of any damage that pierces undead and demons' armour.

The holy wrath brand does the following:

  • Against undead and demons, deals an average of +75% damage (min. 1, max. +150%).[1] This is independent from "holy" damage, so undead that are rHoly (e.g. profane servitors) are not immune to holy wrath.

You cannot wield weapons with this brand if you yourself are undead (Mummy, Ghoul, all Vampires, in lichform) or a demonspawn. Holy wrath will also offend Yredelemnul, though the other evil gods won't mind.

Sources

Holy wrath can be found on any melee weapon except demon blades, demon tridents, and demon whips (which become their blessed counterparts instead). It can not be obtained through a scroll of brand weapon. It can also be found as:
