The gleaming drakish scurgar "Devilbane" is a non-guaranteed artifact missile. It slays demons and returns when thrown. It appears as a drakish scurgar when unidentified, making it indistinguishable from normal iron scurgari.
Desirability[]
Demons are a powerful and common monster type, making this item quite useful. It also deals respectable damage to non-demons, although the lack of other slaying scurgari makes the associated Weapon skill training somewhat less useful.
Guaranteed/Common sources[]
It can be granted as a precrowning gift or a reward for making use of a potion of uselessness, generated in a surge of power or greater vault, or generated as random loot (albeit very rarely).
