One of the most coveted weapons in the game, Grayswandir is a lawful silver saber that can do both double damage (to all targets, even the End Game Riders) and silver damage, and prevents hallucination. And because, like the Brands, it is non-intelligent, it may be wished for and used by all non-lawfuls who can survive its blasting damage (up to d20) whenever it is transferred to or appears in their inventory.
Generation
Grayswandir can be randomly generated wherever a silver saber can be generated, but this is exceptionally rare. A more reliable way to get it is, if lawful, to #offer sacrifices to your god, or to wish for it.
Origin
Grayswandir is a reference to the Chronicles of Amber book series. Corwin, the protagonist, has a silver sword called Grayswandir.
Strategy
Grayswandir is better than Fire Brand, Frost Brand and Mjollnir in that it will not destroy items in the inventory of the monster or player being hit.
