	Electrocution deals flat damage, independent of actual weapon damage, meaning it is most effective on fast weapons like [[Short Blades]], [[whip]]s, and [[spear]]s (triggering elec every 0.5 turn > elec every 0.7 turn). However, it is still a decent brand on "heavy" weapons. For reference, a +9 [[broad axe]] of elec is slightly weaker than [[flaming]] or [[freezing]]. As a bonus, few enemies resist electricity until ~~you get to~~ [[Zot]] and [[extended]].
