* HammerOfTheHoly: Mink the cleric uses a large warhammer to back up her divine magic. She lampshades the "ecclesiastical! And smitey!" connotations but has the "holy" part backwards -- her patron is the Lawful Evil god of tyranny.



* {{Hellfire}}: Gort's weapon of choice. He uses it against Garganon, a dragon, who is immune to normal fire.

* {{Asmodeus}}: Like in ''D&D'', Asmodeus is the godlike Lord of the Nine Hells, ruling over the lesser Archdevils by threat of force. He appears in person in the final chapter to pass judgement on a conflict between two Archdevils that the main characters have been drawn into.
