'''Dichotomy''' is an [[artifact weapon]] that appears in [[EvilHack]]. It is unaligned, and its [[base item]] is a [[runesword]] made of [[gemstone]].

==Generation==
Dichotomy can only be created by combining [[Fire Brand]] and [[Frost Brand]] at a [[Forge (dungeon feature)|forge]] - it cannot be [[wish]]ed for, and will revert to its base item if left in a [[bones]] file.

==Description==
Dichotomy has +1d8 [[to-hit]] and deals additional [[fire]] and/or [[cold]] damage against monsters that do not have [[fire resistance]] or [[cold resistance]], potentially destroying items vulnerable to either element in their open inventory: against targets that lack both resistances, there is a chance that Dichotomy will cause an additional 3x3 explosion of fire or cold centered on the target monster. While wielded, it confers fire resistance, cold resistance, and protects open inventory from fire and cold damage.

==Encyclopedia entry==
{{encyclopedia|
A powerful runesword that is in perpetual conflict, a forced
mating of Fire and Ice.
