Fire Brand and Frost Brand are two very similar artifacts. They are both unaligned long swords that give double damage and +5 to-hit against monsters not resistant to fire and cold. Frost Brand is vastly more popular than Fire Brand, because many monsters in Gehennom are fire-resistant. However, note that most of the Astral plane's monsters are cold-resistant as well.
Both can destroy potions carried by their target; Fire Brand can also destroy scrolls and spellbooks.
