The Sword of Kas is an intelligent artifact weapon that appears in EvilHack. It is chaotic-aligned, and its base item is a two-handed sword made of gemstone.

Generation

The Sword of Kas is always generated in the possession of Kas within Vecna's Domain; if left in bones, it will revert to a "mundane" gemstone two-handed sword. Due to its generation method, it does not count against the player for purposes of artifact wishing.

Description

The Sword of Kas is permanently coated in poison, and deals extra poison damage against monsters without poison resistance, as well as double damage versus cross-aligned monsters; it also deals double-damage to liches, and will deal three times the damage when used specifically against Vecna. While wielded, it grants stoning resistance and sets the wielder's strength to 25 - it is additionally bloodthirsty similar to Stormbringer, meaning that you will attack any monster you walk into while wielding it.
