The brand spell gives a magic user the chance to put a random elemental
brand (Flame, Frost, Acid, Lightning) upon a weapon. There is a risk
that the weapon will be destroyed, but if branded successfully, the brand
is permanent. Branding only works on weapons without a current brand
flag. High level gods have the ability to create weapons with multiple
branding flags...however, such weapons are *never* for use by mortals.....
syntax: cast brand <weapon>
