Shock Brand is an artifact that appears in SlashTHEM. It is unaligned, and its base item type is a long sword.

Shock Brand is the shock-attuned counterpart of Frost Brand and Fire Brand, and has an acid-attuned counterpart in Acid Brand.

Generation

A long sword randomly generated on the ground (including in a shop) or as a death drop has a base 120 chance of being made into an artifact, which has a 112 chance of being made into Shock Brand, assuming no artifact long swords have been generated. Shock Brand can be given to any hero as a sacrifice gift, though it will never be the first one given.

Shock Brand is one of the artifacts that can be created by Duri at The Forge, with a base price of 7250 (which is the second-highest of the Brands).

Description

While wielded, Shock Brand grants shock resistance, and has a +1d5 to-hit bonus and deals double damage against monsters without shock resistance.
