Statistics Lines: 12 > The crysknife is, grab it if you ever get a wand of wishing. Contrary to popular belief, the crysknife is not the best weapon around. Although the two-handed sword does only 1d6 to small monsters, it does 1d12 + 1d6 + 1d6 to large ones, and a heavy iron ball (gotten with a scroll of punishment or a wand of wishing) does 1d26 to all monsters. Therefore, wish for a heavy iron ball. It is not all that heavy, and it is much better. Nathaniel Thurston
