The Tsurugi of Muramasa is the Samurai quest artifact. It is lawful for wishing purposes.
It is a tsurugi, a type of two-handed sword. It does 4-28 base damage, with a 5% chance of either instantly killing a small monster (or a monster engulfing you) by bisection, or doing double damage to large monsters.
Its disadvantage is being two-handed; if it becomes cursed in a fight you cannot cast spells, reach into your bag for holy water, or do anything else that requires the use of your hands.
Damage
The following calculates the damage done by the blessed +7 Tsurugi of Muramasa in the best case scenario: being expert in two-handed sword and attacking an undead large monster (not calculating damage caused by bisection):
( +d8 + 2d6 base damage +1d8 special damage +7 enchantment damage ) +d4 blessed damage (against undead or demons) +2 expert skill bonus = 14 to 41 total damage (average 25)
Encyclopedia entry
This most ancient of swords has been passed down through the leadership of the Samurai legions for hundreds of years. It is said to grant luck to its wielder, but its main power is terrible to behold. It has the capability to cut in half any creature it is wielded against, instantly killing them.
