I was playing Zangband 240 the other day and thought of a better use of those high level branding spells. It never really made since to me that a level 50 character would need to Cold brand a sword. By the time he gets to level 50, he should have a much better weapon than that. Certainly by level 50 he would not use the cold branded weapon for income.
So I added temporary branding flags and count-down timers. It did not take too long to implement and it sure made that high-level spell slot a lot more useful. These temp-branding flags can be added to any weapon. So even an ego item with it's own intrinsic flag set can have a temp-brand flag added to it.
The Death spell of Vampirism Branding is pretty handy when going up against a slough of dragons.
