Demonbane doubles enchantment damage (and strength damage?) too. From
art2-343.txt, at +7 it does greater average damage to demons than
anything bar Frost Brand (equal) and Grayswandir. FB is unaligned
whereas GS and DB are Lawful, so for non lawful characters with lots of
enchant weapon scrolls and ignoring weapon skills GS>FB>DB for demon
killing.
Perhaps Demonbane should be unaligned?
