Trick weapon
In dNetHack, notdNetHack, and notnotdNetHack, a trick weapon refers to a weapon that can transform into another weapon, weapon-tool or firearm from being applied, or is otherwise inspired by Bloodborne. Most trick weapons can be randomly generated, and all non-artifact trick weapons may also be wished for. Bloodletter, The Blade Singer's Saber, and The Holy Moonlight Sword are all artifact trick weapons, and both Fire brand and Frost brand can be re-shaped into trick weapons, but only by Undead Hunter heros.
