−	~~#REDIRECT~~ [[Object properties#~~AxiomaticO~~]]	+	In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]], the '''axiomatic''' [[Object properties#dNetHack\|object property]] attunes a [[weapon]], piece of [[armor]] or other item that has the property to the [[lawful]] alignment, and also refers to the damage dealt by weapons and some types of armor with the property—the '''apodictic''' property is a lesser form of the axiomatic property that only occurs on weapons. Both properties are only displayed on [[Identification\|fully-identified]] items.
