    Demonbane is a lawful long sword that has +1d5 to hit and deals double damage against all proper major demons, i.e. all & except Death, Pestilence, Famine, djinn, the mail daemon, and sandestins.

    Unlike a silver saber or other silver weapons, Demonbane does not deal additional damage against minor demons.[1]

    SporkHack[]

    In SporkHack, Demonbane has been significantly overhauled. It is now a silver mace which does double damage to demons, provides warning versus demons and prevents demons from summoning in your presence. It is the first sacrifice gift for priests. Because silver maces are not randomly generated, Demonbane will never be randomly generated.

    Like all revised SporkHack artifacts, it gets +1d5 to hit all monsters, not just its target monster.

    References[]

    1. Demonbane gets a bonus against monster types with the M2_DEMON flag set (spec_applies in artifact.c; artilist.h, line 105). No minor demon has this flag (Imps and other minor demons in monst.c).
