Bane of Arthropods

Bane of Arthropods is a weapon enchantment that increases damage to arthropod mobs (spiders, cave spiders, bees, silverfish, and endermites).
== Usage ==
Each level on a sword or axe adds extra damage to each hit on arthropods only.
The enchantment also inflicts Slowness IV on an arthropod when hit, with a random duration between 1 and 1.5 seconds at level I, increasing the maximum duration by 0.5 seconds at each level, up to 3.5 seconds with Bane of Arthropods V.
=== Damage per hit ===
These tables detail how much damage is done per attack based on the level of enchantment used, assuming the target is not wearing armor and the attack is fully charged. Critical damage is in parentheses.
