-This weapon is well worth keeping for any SLASH'EM character, priest or otherwise, who is not restricted in maces.  Its range is indeed somewhat limited, but most of the [[ghoul mage|dangerous]] [[vampire mage|new]] [[ghoul queen|spellcasters]] in SLASH'EM are [[undead]], as are [[lich|some old friends from vanilla]].  Its flat damage bonus means that one need not waste scrolls of enchant weapon on it; it will wipe undead out just fine at +0.  It may however be a good idea to raise maces to skilled to ensure that Disrupter will hit fairly consistently.
+The weapon is well worth keeping for any character not restricted in maces. Similar to [[Sunsword]], the bonus covers a somewhat-limited range of monsters - but as with Sunsword, that range includes many high-level threats. In addition to the returning [[lich]]es and [[vampire]]s, there are various new undead spellcasters such as the ghoul mage, vampire mage and ghoul queen that can ruin unprepared players.
