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 - it cannot be wished 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
A powerful runesword that is in perpetual conflict, a forced
