Undead should get different message on wielding pain weapons

[Skrybe]

It seems strange to me that Mu/Gh/bloodless Vp can feel "pain shuddering through your arm" on wielding a pain branded weapon. Flavor-wise, I didn't think undead could feel pain. Mechanic-wise, torment immunity is specifically described as immunity to unholy pain. I think a message along the lines of feeling "unholy energy", like when you resist torment, would be more appropriate, though I'm having a hard time coming up with specific suggestions that don't sound a lot like existing messages. Any thoughts?

They still get "Ouch! That really hurt!" messages, don't they? Presumably they can still feel pain, it's just that necromantic sources of pain don't work on them for whatever reason. Perhaps undead nervous systems work on different principles than living ones. Or perhaps they're more simply detached from the pain, so the sensation just registers as like seeing a really vivid shade of red instead of causing crippling mental anguish.

Maybe something like "You feel the pain shoot through you exhilaratingly!" or "Pain flares though you like a burst of demon fire!". Ive got more if anyone likes those.

Undead enjoying necromantic energy would actually make a lot of sense, though that would likely require changing other messages besides those associated with pain weapons, e.g. resisting torment.

*Torment washes over you like the breath of all embracing death*

*You revel in the power of torment*

*Torment caresses you with shadowy tendrils*

"You feel a slight tickle."

[Siegurt]

"You feel a slight tickle... in the spot where your soul might have once resided"

We already do this for vampiric weapons. As usual, I'm not interested in bikeshedding but if someone puts a patch on Mantis, I'll apply it.

The issue is further complicated by the fact that you get different messages depending on your Necromancy skill.

I for some odd reason think this is hilarious and needs to be added to the game. +1
