Basically what you just said boils down to:  "weapons should not
have stat bonuses but only damage bonuses".

I do not find it "ludicrous" that a weapon can raise your intelligence,
since the *only* function of intelligence in this game is to set the
number of spellpoints.  Why couldn't a weapon function as a talisman of
power?

Or be a holy weapon, and make you more effective at praying?  (Wis +)
