The ancient katana named Masamune is a unique katana with an illithium blade and sapphire hilt.<br>

<div style="border:1px solid #acbdf2; background:#cedff2; padding:.5em 1em 1em;">
It has a moderate chance to deliver massive damage upon striking an enemy, prompting the message "Your Masamune's slash cuts the ''[monster]'' so deep you thought it was cut in half for a moment."
+
'''<span style="font-size:12pt">[http://attnam.com The Cathedral of Attnam]</span>''' is the unofficial homepage of [http://ivan.sourceforge.net IVAN].
Like [[Muramasa]], Masamune delivers striking damage instead of slashing damage due to a scripting oversight.

== Trivia ==
+
This is the unofficial [http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=IVAN Iter Vehemens ad Necem] wiki.
Masamune is an ancient sword named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masamune Masamune] a legendary swordsmith widely considered to be the best in Japanese history.
+
Iter Vehemens ad Necem (IVAN) is a graphical [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike roguelike] game. The name is Latin for "Violent Road to Death"[[LAERSER_SKISKLS|.]]
Masamune's blades had a reputation of superior beauty and quality not commonly found in an era where quality steel was a rarity.
+
Before reading this wiki, we suggest that you first play the game. It can be downloaded from the [http://ivan.sourceforge.net/ official site].
  
Legend tells of a competition between [[Muramasa]] and his master, Masamune to see who could produce the finest sword. <br>
+
<div style="border:1px solid #C0C040; padding:0px 8px; background:#FFFFD0">
Variations of the tale exist but the general story remains the same - Muramasa and Masamune produce their masterpieces and test them by placing them in a river. Muramasa's sword slices anything it touches cleanly in half - including fish, leaves, and even the air blowing past it. Masamune's sword leaves everything in the river untouched, and fish even approach it out of curiosity - in some versions of the tale it even sews Muramasa's victims back together.<br>  
+
'''Spoiler Warning''': This wiki contains spoilers that may affect your IVAN experience negatively.
Depending on the tale, a third party intervenes to judge, ruling that Muramasa's sword - while of unquestionable quality - is evil and bloodthirsty, whereas Masamune's sword is holy and just for not causing unnecessary harm.
+
</div>
  
However, Muramasa lived a full 300 years before Masamune so it is impossible this encounter ever happened.
+
If you have not already played through '''IVAN''' (or at least played a significant number of games) the information you will learn here may ruin some of the surprises you will find in the game and possibly lessen your enjoyment of it.
