Bala's Axe, better known by the name of Wizard Slayer (Bala's Axe, Wizard Slayer in-game), is an axe made especially for killing wizards. It has all statistics of an normal battle axe, but this axe can cast Miscast Magic once a day if the target is hit. It can be avoided at -2 for save vs. spells. The effect of the spell gives the creature a 20% chance to successfully cast spells. Because wizards depend on their magic skill for survival and this axe essentially robs it from them, it's an effective way to kill them. This weapon is found in a fountain at the third floor of Durlag's Tower. This axe can be used by fighters, paladins, rangers and bards. To wield this axe, the wielder needs 10 points in Strength.
