The Holy Spear of Light is a rather useful artifact added in SLASH'EM[1]; It can be considered comparable to Sunsword. It is lawful, intelligent, has +5 to-hit and +10 damage to undead monsters: L, M, W, Z, ghosts and shades. It also acts as a light source with a radius of 2 squares, but unlike Sunsword, it is lit when carried, and does not prevent blinding. The Spear's best use is its invocation, which permanently lights a section of the dungeon, and also damages undead and demons caught in the light. Being a spear, it also provides the +2 to-hit against kebabable monsters.
Light Radius
The spear has a light radius of two squares around the character (or monster) it's being carried by.

Compare that to the radius of a lamp, which is three. x's represent the squares lit by the spear.
Invocation
The spear's most noteworthy use is it's invocation power:
- "The Holy Spear of Light shines brightly for an instant!" (if not blind)
- "The Holy Spear of Light grows warm for a second!" (if blind)
The spear illuminates an area with a radius of 12 squares centered on the player. Note that this is larger than even a blessed scroll of light, with a 9-square radius. As such, it is very useful for lighting your way; Non-spellcasters will probably want to blank all the extra scrolls of light they find themselves with. Note that the spear is intelligent and will therefore blast you if you are not Lawful.
Within this radius, undead and demons take damage.
- "<monster> burns in the radiance!" (if you can see the monster)
- "You hear cry(ies) of intense pain!" (if you can't)
This damage will never actually kill these monsters; A minimum of one remaining hit point is ensured. This will also not anger any peaceful undead it affects or decrease tameness of tame undead.
Note that if you are playing as a vampire or are polymorphed into an undead or demon, your hit points will be divided by 100, with no minimum cutoff of one hit point. Death from this hit point loss will not revert you to your normal form, and will instead kill you outright. Also note that high-level or high-MR monsters may resist this damage altogether.
