In the Wiki I read: "In SporkHack, UnNetHack and SLASH'EM Dragonbane is
instead a dwarvish spear that [...]" (i.e. as opposed to a broadsword).
But in my current game I got: "a broadsword named Dragonbane" (which
reflects the source code). A Wiki documentation error, I suppose.

What a pity; instant-death to dragons would be nice, now that I am
looking for dragon scales. But the small double damage factor of the
original broadsword definition would hardly compete with the Cleaver.
