Can "wave warhammer at opponent" for a shock attack, no sps but has recharge time ~ 30 seconds.

Stone Smasher Maul

+1 Strength

Hammer of Gralain

Some sort of bonus to dwarves, maybe humans?

Curved Blade

Blade of Sethic

Two handed curved blade and damage/parry/protection/ etc depends on the runes you activate.

After attaching the green gem dagger to the Blade of Sethic, you can unleash it's power by activating the runes. There are six runes, one inscribed on each emerald. You recognise them as ancient elven runes, and are just able to recognise their names. In order, they are: 'Pararan', 'Gaialcir', 'Elencir', 'Elbelle', 'Ulgaiar' and 'Edelia'.

Each of these runes correspond to the abilities associated below, in order:

Pararan: This rune is in the shape of a three-armed spiral. You understand that it means something vaguely akin to 'power'.

Gaialcir: This rune is a circle pierced by two lines that originate within the circle. You think it has something to do with 'pain'.

Elencir: Two parallel lines crossed by a third line form this rune, which you think means something similar to 'skill'.

Elbelle: This rune is triangle inscribed in a circle and you think it means 'protection'.

Edelia: This rune appears to be two inverted triangles side by side. It means something akin to 'immunity'.

You must "activate" these runes using their Elvish names. They do wear off and recharge over time.

Draqisfang

A scimitar when wielded by Masrur, Draqisfang will transform into the most appropriate weapon type for its current wielder (based on the highest skill of its current wielder, excluding marksmanship and unarmed. and is always called "The Sacred <weapon>, Draqisfang". Evaluates around moderately difficult and is generally unremarkable, although the knife form is a good rogue secondary and, as knives go, is pretty decent to wield as a primary weapon. The staff form is two-handed. If highest skills are equal then it will transform into whichever of the skills comes first alphabetically - so for 1700 characters, it's always an axe.

The Eagle Talon

Has a bonus for Parry and Block. One handed or Two handed. Weighs 4, but you must also have the talisman (weighs 1) to wield it.

Flamberge, the flame sword

Changes to suit the wielder's skill. Switches between flame attacks and normal. Better vs. bigger things, dragons specifically. If it feels you're attacking a worthy opponent, it will advise you which body part to aim at. From Sand Dragon area.
