This is what I've figured out in the 3 days playing...

Three new spells are

GOR IR KU   - Detects Monsters
GOR IR ROS  - Detects fake walls and "invisible" (actually hard to see) pits
GOR IR DAIN - Detects "magic" on screen?

Obviously, there is a fourth, involving NETA, but I've tried semi-logical
combinations to no avail.

SEMI-SPOILER  --> Dragons Den
-----------------------------------

It's _REALLY_ easy to kill _ANY_ dragon.  Here's how.

1) Prepare all your players with MON IR VEN spells (mega poison cloud)
2) Use the green freeze life box (on the dragon)
3) Cast the spells, and then double up on each player
   (ie. each player casts 2 spells for a total of 8)
4) Wait... dinner will be served soon.

------------------------------------

Other hints:
------------

Using the Vorpal Blade:

If you don't have both Vorpal Blades, you can increase #hits/time by
passing the weapon back and forth between the two attacking players.
(ie.  hit -> pass blade to #2 -> hit -> pass back to #1 -> hit ->...

Contrary to what I've read on the net, everything is affected by
fireballs, including knights and dragons.  The only exceptions are
slime, black flames, and the thing that pops up from the floor.

BTW, does anyone know what ill effect the Cursed Items have?
