Hellfire-the-unrand gains a "hellfire brand".

Bolts fired from it inflict hellfire-flavoured damage and explode in a
manner similar to other exploding projectiles (but also with
hellfire-flavoured damage) - this of course means bolts fired from it
have a 100% mulch rate.

Its base damage enchantment is now +6; +9 is probably too overpowered,
but lowering it all the way to +0 might be considered too much of a
drawback in light of the mulch rate and the fact that rHellfire enemies,
well, completely resist damage from Hellfire. (Who would have thought?)

It's also now evil! (What the hellfire!?)
