Krakadoom
Can "wave warhammer at opponent" for a shock attack, no sps but has recharge time ~ 30 seconds.
Onix, Horn of Power
15-20 Skill, Average Damage, Poor Parry. Gives strange healing bonuses, seems to have chance of 1hp/1sps(maybe more?) per round when fighting enemies of equal or higher level.

+1 Strength
Hammer of Gralain
Some sort of bonus to dwarves, maybe humans?
Curved Blade
Blade of Sethic: Two handed, see page for more information.
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.
