That is a pretty interesting trick.  I never did find that one.  However,
at least with the very early version of Wizardry I (and maybe with the later
ones as well), there is an even easier way to duplicate items.

If you put things in the swag bag, and then restore the characters, the swag
bag is not changed.  This means that you can take a character with Armor of
Lords, put the armor in the swag bag, restore the characters, and voila, the
character still has the Armor of Lords, and there is one in the swag bag as
well.  Repeat ad nauseum for every interesting item you find -- even the
amulet, if you wish to train characters fast.  Of course, this method doesn't
equip the extra armor for the characters.

Is there anyone out there who has compiled a list of all the special types
of armor and weapons, and what special powers they have?  Some of the armor
and weapons seem to have special powers, but it's not very obvious what they
do.  The Dagger of Thievery WAS obvious, of course.
