Pinkbeast: rv good faith edit; artifact weapons typically referred to as eg "Mjollnir" unless the game gives them a capitalised "The" like eg Muramasa.

'''Firewall''' is a [[lawful]] [[athame]] which serves as a first sacrifice gift for [[flame mage]]s in [[SLASH'EM]]. It provides [[fire resistance]] when wielded, and has +4 to hit and damage against monsters which are not fire resistant. As an athame, it can [[engrave]] repeatedly and quickly without dulling, provided it is not cursed.

==Strategy==
It will work for most flame mages much as [[Magicbane]] works for [[wizard]]s: as a moderately effective weapon, received as a first sacrifice gift, which is used for engraving [[Elbereth]]. Most flame mages will ultimately want a stronger weapon, however, since +4 damage is quite underwhelming in SLASH'EM's mid and late games. Firewall should definitely be kept for engraving Elbereth, however. Note that like its big brother [[Fire Brand]], it can destroy potions and scrolls that monsters are carrying.
