https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8222 [^]

I'm still not happy about the hit dice for the evoke ability but is seems there is a consistent lack of consistency between monster spells and player spells anyway. If anyone wants to change the values of the hit die feel free.

1. the word you want is "waning" not "waining"
2. it feels strange to have variable plusses on something tied to Zin
3. you heavily conflate "silver" and "Zin": silver affects inherently chaotic/shapechanged beings only. Zin also has an number of arbitrary rules: he hates stealing, causing hunger, causing rot or disease, insanity, knowing a bunch of spells he hates, etc. The bolt of Zin affects the latter.

Silver is a metal that interferes with a quite well defined type of magic, Zin is a god with a laundry list of dislikes that defy logic (he's modelled after RL religion).

So your "silver" weapon hurts things that Zin hates but silver by itself is in no way harmful to. Thus, I'd seriously change either the theme or behaviour of this weapon.

1. my fault, I can't spell.
2. variable pluses were tied to the moon theme not to Zin.
3. I see your point, that hadn't occurred to me, but SPELL_SILVER_BLAST uses BEAM_BOLT_OF_ZIN. I am now working on changing the evoke from SPELL_SILVER_BLAST to a bolt of silver (a la the other bolt spells), which will avoid messing with SPELL_SILVER_BLAST and only affect things with actual silver vulnerability.

Thanks for the feedback.
