I tried a frost weapon for awhile, but it made fights too boring for me.

From The Locus Inn - Skill System (individual paths, and a skill table for each class)

Spiritual Damage (Passive) - warrior skill, Path of the Warrior's God
The warrior's melee weapons are infused with the ability to inflict spiritual damage.

Level 1 Every strike does 4+6 spiritual damage. Required level is 12
Level 2 Every strike does 8+12 spiritual damage. Required level is 20
Level 3 Every strike does 12+18 spiritual damage. Required level is 28
Level 4 Every strike does 16+22 spiritual damage. Required level is 36
Level 5 Every strike does 20+30 spiritual damage. Required level is 44


It is useful against orcs, trolls, etc. but not animals. I bought a sword with Spiritual Damage(3) on it from the traveling merchant on the path to the cursed Abbey; the spiritual damage on the orcs around Aleroth was just about as much as the physical damage. Later, when I replaced the sword, I put some points into the skill (I had a surplus built up), but monsters by then had a higher spiritual resistance so it wasn't doing as much damage. Since it has a 100% chance to hit, I think it would be more effective than the elemental damages, even if it doesn't effect some monster types.
