The Golden Broadsword (of Lightning)

[tab]

So, I happened across a Golden Broadsword today!  While wielding it, I noticed it would proc a lightning bolt on enemies occasionally.  That was neat. Looking in the MegaMUD item file it says it should cast song of valor, though.

So, I tried to 'use' it on myself, but I was not a valid target.  So I decided to 'use' it on my enemy, just to see...

I think it maxes out at like 20 casts of lightning, so I can't go hunt down the ooze and round it. :)

Thanks for the report.

Just tested this with the Demon's Maw and it works (for sunsword damage), so I would guess all weapons with an after-effect damage work in this manner.

Yeah..it is..
