- For the original artifact in SporkHack, see Dirge (SporkHack).
Dirge is an artifact that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM. It is chaotic, and its base item is a long sword made of mithril.
Generation
Dirge cannot be randomly generated, though it can be found in bones.
A Knight that starts their game as chaotic can be gifted Dirge by wielding a long sword, elven long sword, orcish long sword, or dark elven long sword and sacrificing a corpse of their race on a chaotic altar while their alignment record is positive and their god is not angry: this will exercise wisdom and transform the sword into the blessed and erosion-proofed Dirge, which repairs any damage, removes any object properties and brings the sword's enchantment up to +0 if it was negative.
If Dirge is wished for, there is a 1⁄x chance (where x is the amount of previous artifact wishes) of it being created successfully, and an effective x⁄(x+1)² chance of a hostile knight generating adjacent to the character with the artifact in their possession.
Description
Dirge has +1d5 to-hit and +1d10 damage bonuses, deals double acid damage against monsters without acid resistance, and grants acid resistance while wielded. Attacking with Dirge can corrode a target's armor, and force-fighting while wielding Dirge can be used to cleave through iron bars.
