Another one from 4.5 years ago: the Tsurugi of Muramasa ought to
be able to split puddings in keeping with its special attack effect
of slicing things in two. The suggestion was more extreme: always
split instead of kill. This generalizes the less extreme version;
METAL weapons (scalpel and tsurugi) can now split puddings like IRON
weapons do even though their user faces no risk of having the weapon
become rusty. Sam's quest artifact receives no special treatment.
Bashing puddings with wielded iron-tipped projectiles was splitting
them. This prevents that (and also for metal-tipped ya).
