A holy armament is a piece of equipment that has been prepared for use against the undead by clerics and paladins. When used by members of those professions, it acts as though blessed, removing the normal penalties for physically attacking undead targets with it. Holy armaments do not receive any other benefits of blessing.
Holy armaments can be identified through ASSESS by a cleric or paladin.
Certain materials will produce holy armaments when used to make weapons, shields, armor, or armor accessories. Eonake, white ora, and faewood are three materials with the inherent property. Occasionally, holy armaments besides the materials listed can be found in the treasure system. Items can sometimes be made into holy armaments through paid services.
The Paladin spell Consecrate (1604) works only on holy armaments, while Holy Weapon (1625) will make the paladin's chosen weapon a holy armament.
Holy armaments were sometimes previously referred to as sanctified, but this was changed with the introduction of Sanctify (330). Sanctifying items will not make them holy armaments for the purpose of abilities, and holy armaments do not provide any of the benefits of sanctification. However, many of the materials that produce holy armaments also provide a bonus to sanctification.
