'''Holy word''' is a damaging effect. When used against [[undead]] or [[demonic]] monsters, it deals <code>3d15 + (1d<pow> - 1) / 5</code><ref>The power is capped at 300. TSO's holy word has power = 100. Recite's power depends on piety and [[Invocations]].</ref> AC-ignoring damage and inflicts the [[daze]] status for 10-19 turns.<ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|spl-goditem.cc|1016}}</ref><ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|spl-goditem.cc|1036}}</ref> When used against undead or [[demonspawn]] players, it halves HP instead. Unlike [[torment]], this can kill you at 1 HP. Otherwise, it does nothing.

Holy word is a divine-only effect. It can be invoked from [[The Shining One]]'s weapon blessing and [[Zin]]'s Recite. [[Nemelex]] will use holy word exclusively on the player as [[Torment card|punishment]] (if you would be affected by it).

==History==
*In [[0.29]], the [[scroll of holy word]], the most common source of this effect, was removed.
*Prior to [[0.27]], Zin's Sanctuary caused a holy word effect.
*Prior to [[0.15]], holy word also [[Cause Fear|scared]] targets, and the [[good god]]s made these scrolls more powerful for their followers.
