Weapons & Shields: Lightning-Elemental – 2 shown
Rare weapons can only be found as treasure or won from monsters; unique weapons can only be found as treasure; ultimate weapons are uniquely powerful treasures
Name
The base damage dealt by the weapon; this is added to 1/4 of the wielder's strength score, and each hit deals between one and two times this total in damage, reduced by the target's defense; wielding a weapon in one hand and nothing in the other increases the strength bonus from 1/4 to 1/2 of the wielder's strength score
Attack
The accuracy bonus of the weapon; this is added to the wielder's strength score to determine physical attack accuracy
Accuracy
Some weapons have a chance to inflict a status ailment with each hit; a weapon with the Drain HP ability drains 1/16 of the target's maximum hp in addition to its normal damage on each hit, but this effect is reversed against undead; the Healing ability means that the attack value of the weapon is ignored except against undead, and the target is healed for 30–60 hit points per hit; the Ripper ability appears to add 20 damage per hit, but this damage is not actually applied and the ability has no actual effect
Effect
Weapons and shields grant a bonus to evasion equal to this value times the skill level appropriate to the item type
Evasion
When used against a monster weak against one of its elements, the weapon gets a +20 bonus to attack (this does not stack with the bonus for using a weapon against a monster of a family it is especially effective against); there is no penalty for using a weapon against a monster that resists or absorbs any of its elemental properties; shields instead grant resistance to the listed elements
Elements
When used against a monster of any of the listed families, the weapon gets a +20 bonus to attack (this does not stack with the bonus for using an elemental weapon against a monster that is weak against that element)
Effective Against
Most weapons and shields incur a penalty to the accuracy of any spells cast by the wearer; multiple penalties are cumulative
