- Stormbringer makes a big difference in how easy you get the intrinsics. Each
- time that you hit a monster with Stormbringer, it loses one level. When you
- eat the corpse it leaves, your chance of getting any specific intrinsic is
- (monster level)/(some constant depending on the intrinsic). Therefore, hitting
- 5 times a red dragon with Stormbringer, lowers your chances for getting fire
- resistance from 2/3 to 1/3 (for example), and the effect is more important for
- lower level monsters (e.g. try to get teleport control by killing tengus with
- Stormy).
