A runesword is a special weapon that is not normally generated. It exists to serve as the base item for Stormbringer, though it is also possible to wish for an ordinary one or find it in a bones file if you already have Stormbringer. When unidentified, a runesword appears as a runed broadsword, an appearance it shares with the elven broadsword. (It differs by being lighter, more expensive, providing less damage versus small monsters, and being made of iron.)

Appearance

Since it's the base item for Stormbringer, probably is supposed to look the same, as a black sword with runes engraved deep in the blade. Hence the name.

SLASH'EM

In slashem, a runesword is always found in the Lawful Quest. It has a 5% chance of actually being Stormbringer.
