I think that a what is needed is that no weapon that has 'natural' stat
modifiers could be enhanced (expect by praying).

      I agree, or at least, I agree that weapons should not be reconsecrated,

Yup, My thoughts exactly.

Yup perhaps that would be nice. Whisker was funny :-)
To get the Demonslayer You have to do a little detective work to get the

Btw. does one become King of Scorn by killing the King and Queen?
That would be fun :-)
