'''Undead Bane''' is an ability put on a weapon or shield to give it a permanent ability to hit the undead, as well as an ability that activates only against the undead. This can include [[flare]]s or [[weighting]]. Undead Bane is different from [[Permabless]] as it can come with different flare or weighting, whereas Permabless is just holy water flares.


'''Bane''' is a general term for a functional item script that is usually applied to weapons (and rarely shields) to gives either [[flare]]s, [[weighting]], or extra [[enchantment]](s) to the item when used against a specific opponent as categorized below.

As shown in [[item properties]], bane occupies its own property slot (i.e., is Category C) and may be added to almost any weapon (at the discretion of the [[merchant]]).

Bane is a general term for a functional item script that is usually applied to weapons (and rarely shields) to gives either flares, weighting, or extra enchantment(s) to the item when used against a specific opponent as categorized below. Flare choices are Heat, Cold, Electric, Impact, Acid, Vacuum, Plasma, and Steam.

With the changes to Enchant, bane weapons can now be player enchanted.

An appropriate weapon for this service is enchanted with a minimum +40 bonus and blessable.

Undead Bane

Undead Bane armaments are armaments effective against undead creatures and options may include flares, weighting, or additional attack or casting strength. There are two types of undead banes, regular and non-corporeal only.

For regular undead bane armaments, the loresong will read: "the bane of all undead creatures that can be affected by it.”

For non-corporeal undead bane armaments, the loresong will read: "the bane of all non-corporeal undead creatures affected by it."
