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's "non-intelligent", it may be wished for and used by all non-lawfuls who can survive its blasting damage (up to d20) whenever it's transferred to or appears in their inventory.

It's better than the Brands in that it will not destroy items in the inventory of the monster or player being hit.
