Special Weapon Attributes - help fill out?

[Big Head Zach]

Here is an incomplete list of the attributes that can be found on weapons, and what they do.

* Sun Ray: At the end of the combo, shoot a sun ray for a few seconds, similar to the Floating Rune.

* Bloodstrike: At the end of the combo, call down a short line of falling swords, similar to the Sword Link Amulet's effect (except standing in blood is not required).

* The Rat: At the end of the combo, shoot out a slow, wide projectile which is the same as the Rat monster's special (aka the "Ratdouken"), but that can damage monsters.

* Speartrap: At the end of the combo, send out a line of spears similar to the speartrap totem, but that can damage monsters.

* Flamestrike: Chance to set your enemy on fire for DOT.

* Poison: Chance to poison your enemy for DOT.

* Cosmic Strike: A bright blue flash appears on a hit, but I'm not aware what effect that has.

* Water Strike: A splash of water appears on a hit, but I'm not aware what effect that has.

* Explosive Strike: An explosion fires on a hit, doing AoE damage to other monsters/objects nearby.

* Plasm Strike: This was shown in a video but not demonstrated.

* Corrupted: Does 50% more damage but inflicts the Insanity condition (hero movement is erratic, and will curl up into a ball when not moving).

There's the Nauseating weapons, don't forget -- the ones that make your character vomit randomly, acting as an intermittent stun effect.

Don't forget the Thieving Knife and other weapons that may share its powers. Thieving Knife is a thing you get for worshipping Murkan at the start of a game. It has a chance to drop gold when you hit a monster with it, similar to a Gnome's basic attack ("Gnomes" are the little men tier 1 monsters that throw out bear traps).

Glacial or Ice Magic weapons have a chance to inflict ice effect (slows enemy down) on hit.

Other random modifiers like Dull (low damage), Awkward (low speed), or Barbed (more damage) affect base weapon attributes accordingly.

Cyclone weapons ("blessed by the Cyclone monks") will throw out slow-moving cyclones that damage enemies they touch.

Vampiric weapons ("% chance of Lifesteal strikes") will drain health from an enemy if the effect procs.

Not sure if others have said it, but the sling can have the boulder blessing.

Oh, and the bow of eternal flame.

Are we counting magic staves? They have chain/greater ice shard attacks that I believe are exclusive.

*Blasting Orb : Same as the orb that the blue masked wizard has (the one that explodes vertically) - Seen and tested on a magic sling

*Frog ? : I have seen (but didn't buy) a frog sling (not cursed , but with 11% frog chance) I assume it works like the witch magic , as in it turns monster into frogs for a certain time ?
Need more research on this one.

Also , for the record:

Water strikes are the same projectiles as the ones from the Book of Tears and Plasma Strikes are basically green fire projectiles , somehow similar to the Rat magic projectiles , but smaller.

Yea, frog is the most expensive enchantment by far, and turns enemies hit into frogs as a low chance.
