Magicbane is an artifact. Specifically, it is an athame; however it is considered a dagger for skill purposes.

Magicbane inflicts various effects as well as damage upon attack, including:

  • Cancel monster
  • Probe monster
  • Stun monster
  • Scare monster

The more Magicbane is enchanted, the less likely the magic attacks are to occur. All of these attacks, if they occur, add an additional d4 damage to the calculator. In addition, Magicbane catches and resists 95% of curses sent to the wielder and gives magic resistance. Like all athames, when blessed or uncursed Magicbane can also engrave Elbereth without dulling and in one turn, albeit not permanently.

Wizards receive Magicbane as their first gift from their god after sacrificing at an altar.
