| This dreadful weapon is used at the user's peril. |
A bone long sword
+9, +9 double sword
Reaping brand
Cursed, 33% chance to recurse itself on equip
Raises angry dead
Evil
Monsters killed with the weapon itself will be raised as friendly undead if they drop a corpse, due to the reaping brand. The weapon also animates all other corpses in sight as hostile undead (providing no experience or piety) every turn, however. Despite its description, it has the stats of a double sword.
Desirability
With the buff to its base stats this is now a decent weapon, but still not a great one. Its lack of a damaging brand makes its damage output less than a well-enchanted branded demon blade, and it will cause you food problems unless you judiciously unwield it to kill edible, easy monsters, a task easier said than done given this item's tendency to recurse itself. The friendly zombies can be nice, but the sword doesn't really do anything that being able to cast Animate Dead or even Animate Skeleton doesn't do. Use this weapon if you have nothing better and you don't have food problems.
