			identfy?" Will give the name/details about the item
			you give it.
++Genocide		"You have been granted the boon of Genocide!-Which

+ Magic Mapping		"...there appears to be a map on this scroll."
			Displays all walls, doors and corridors on that level.
+ Fear			"...you hear maniacal laughter in the distance." Causes
			all monsters to be afraid of you for a few moves.  If

Staffs and Wands
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Drain Life		One blast from this will kill whatever you aim it at
			with a few noteable exceptions (see monsters for those
			unaffected).
+ Fire			Hits monsters very hard:  10-30 points.
+ Lightning		Hits monsters very hard:  10-30 points.
+ Cold			Hits monsters very hard:  10-30 points.
+ Magic Missile		Hits monsters lightly:  1-10 points.
+ Striking		Hits monsters lightly:  1-10 points.
-+Polymorph		Transforms the monster into another type of monster.
			Weak ones get strong, and vice-versa.
+ Teleport Away		Teleports the monster away.
+ Teleport To		Teleports you to some other part of the level.
+ Curing		Adds some points to your hit point total: 10-20
- Nothing		Does nothing.
+-Wonder		It can do what any of the other staffs/wands do.  A
			random staff is chosen each time you fire it and it
			will act like that staff for that one shot.  It can
			also do bizarre things like say, "A stream of butter-
			flies fly forth" or "Wow" or "You are eating dinner
			with the Cleavers." The latter satisfies your hunger
			if you are hungry or weak.
+ Alchemy		It will pick a random item out of your inventory and
			turn it into something else.  It can turn a ration of
			food into a potion, etc. If you drop all your good
			things in a room that has no traps, and keep all your
			bad things, you may be able to transform your junk
			into something usefull.
- Haste Monster 	Give monster 2 moves for your 1.
+ Search 		Shows you traps and closed doors.

Once the wand does "nothing" it is exhausted of its magic and does nothing.

Potions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Strength		"You feel much stronger now.  What Bulging Muscles!!"
			Increases you strength by +1.
+ Dexterity		"You feel more nimble now.  Impressive!"  Increases
			your dexterity by +1.
+ Intelligence		"You feel smarter now.  What a brain!"  Increases your
			intelligence by +1.

- Fumbling		"You feel clumsy now.:  Decreases your dex by -1.
- Feeblemindedness	"You feel stupid now."  Decreases your int by -1.
+ Regain Strength	"Hey! This potion tastes great-it makes you feel warm
			all over!"  Restores all your strength.
+ Regain Dexterity	"The potion sends a tingling throughout your entire
			body-Wow!"  Restores all your dexterity.
+ Regain Intelligence	"The potion makes your head spin, but now you feel
			great."  Restores all your intelligence.
+ Magic Detection	"You sense the presence of magic"  Will display all
			magic items on the level (potions, scrolls, staffs,
			enchanted weapons, rings)
+ Gold detection	"You feel greedy and sense the presence of gold."
			Will display all gold on the level.
+ Monster Detection	"...You sense the presence of monsters."  Displays all
			monsters on the level for several moves, even the 
			invisible ones.  This will continue to work if you go 
			down the stairs (unlike other potions).
- Confusion		"You feel confused."  Makes your movements go in random
			directions for a few moves.  Spaces and staffs are
			unaffected. (you sit still and your aim is straight.)
+ Confuse Monster	"Your hands glow red and then fades."  The next monster
			you hit will be confused for a few moves.
- Sleep			"you fall asleep"  The monsters all get a few free
			moves while you are asleep.

			as sleep.
- Slow Self		"You are moving slower now."  Gives monsters 2 moves
			to your 1 for a few moves.
+ Haste Self		"You feel yourself moving much faster now."  You get 2
			moves for every 1 the monsters get for a few moves.
- Blindness		"A cloak of darkness falls around you."  The screen
			will go blank for a very long time.  A lot of spaces or
			quaffing a healing/extra healing potion will remedy
			this horror of all potions.  Zapping a staff of curing
			will fix it too.
+ Healing		"You begin to feel better." or "You feel more virile."
			The first message add some hit points to your total.
			(about 10-20)  The second message adds 1 to your hit
			point potential.
+ Extra Healing		"You begin to feel much better." or "You feel much more
			virile."  Same as healing except it will add about
			15-30 points to your hit point total.
+ See Invisible		"Tastes like the fruit of (your fruit)"  You see invi-
			sible monsters for the level you are on.  Lasts for
			several moves.

There are a lot of messages like, "You're not sure what that potion did" or
"a bit of yellow liquid dribbles down your chin." Meaning that you quaffed a
potion whose effects were not noticible because it was not needed.  The game is
basically saying that it's not going to tell you what that potion does.

Rings
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Searching		Enables you to see most of the secret doors and traps.
+ Stealth		Causes a higher percentage of monsters to be asleep.
+ Vampiric Regeneration	You will receive a percentage of the points that you
			hit the monster for back on your total.  In other words
			whenever you hit a monster, a few points will be added
			to your own total.

			move or rest you make.  This ring burns food at twice
			the normal rate when being worn.  Use with CARE!!
++Invisibility		When worn, you will be invisible to the monsters a
			certain amount of the time (10-50%).  This means they
			will occasionally move in the wrong direction when

			at twice the usual rate.  This is the most RARE item
			in the entire dungeon!!!
+ Slow Digestion	Makes you use food at about 1/2 the usual rate.
+-Increase Damage	+-n Will add or subtract to the power of your hits by
			n.
+-Protection n		Will make your armor imune to rust monsters.  Will also
			affect you armor class by n.  Even if n<0 (ie. n is
			added to your Ac making it less effective).
+ Teleportation		Will randomly teleport you around the dungeon level.
			This ring is usually cursed, but can be usefull for
			escaping tight spots once you have removed the curse.
- Aggravate Monster	This will cause less of the monsters to be asleep and
			fight more fiercly.  This is usually cursed.
+-n Strength		Affects your strength by n
+-n Dexterity		Affects your dexterity by n
