Weapons: |

*Normally, undead have a 25% damage resistance against physical damage. A sanctified weapon negates 5% of that damage resistance per tier, removing it completely at Tier 5 for characters of any profession. A weapon that is blessed with [[Bless Item (304)]] will temporarily remove all damage resistance while the bless charges persist. For Clerics and Paladins only, simply wielding ''any'' holy or sanctified weapon of any tier removes all damage resistance. |

*Melee/ranged weapons gain a bonus of +2 AS per tier. |

*Runestaves gain a bonus of +2 AS and +1.2 CS per tier. |
|||
*When noncorporeal undead are defeated, there is a +20% chance per tier to anchor its remains to prevent it from immediately dissipating, allowing the remains to be searched. |
|||
*At Tier 5 sanctification, trained Clerics can further imbue the weapon with permanent holy fire flares, dealing an additional 50 to 100 concussion damage upon a flare (or 75 to 125 in the hands of a Cleric). |

Defensive Gear: |

*Targets wielding a sanctified shield, or torso armor gain a bonus of +2 DS, +1.2 TD (from undead attacks) and +1 effective level vs undead [[sheer fear]], per tier. |

*Targets wielding a sanctified runestaff gain a bonus of +1 DS, +0.6 TD (from undead attacks) and +0.5 effective level vs undead sheer fear, per tier. |

Sanctified weapons, shields, and armor are considered permanently blessed and able to harm the undead in the hands of a cleric or paladin. White ora and eonake are naturally sanctified. Clerics and paladins can use the ASSESS command to check an item for this property. Sanctified items will also be identified as holy items via loresinging. Sanctified items are not otherwise blessable when used by other professions.
The Holy Weapon (1625) spell can be used on any weapon by a paladin to bond to the weapon and make it sanctified.
The blessed property of shields and armor is only useful for offensive shield maneuvers and Bull Rush, which are available to paladins but not clerics. Paladins can also Consecrate (1604) any sanctified item to imbue it with temporary plasma flares (against any enemy, not just undead).
Plain white ora sanctified weapons can typically be purchased in clerical shops. Sanctified items can be found in the treasure system made of materials other than white ora and eonake. It is possible for a sanctified weapon to also have weighting and flares, and for sanctified armor to have padding and flares.
