Small correction--Wizard Slayers do not Dispel on hit, they cause 10% (cumulative) chance of Spell Failure on anybody they hit. This works even through things like Stoneskins--it's loads of fun watching a high-level Mage fumble all of his spells because you've hit him a few times. Then again, any warrior using a weapon that does Elemental damage can do essentially the same thing.

Short Evaluation of Wizard Slayers:
- If you have ToB installed, Wizard Slayers suck.
- If you do not have ToB, Wizard Slayers suck hard.
This will change soon.
