		YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!





What you have encountered is the famous "Vorpalize weapon" scroll.
The enchant weapon scroll raises a weapon hit OR damage by +1,
the vorpalize weapon scroll raises BOTH hit and damage by +1.

The interesting part, which you have unfortunately discovered,
is that reading two vorpalize weapon scrolls on the same 
weapon causes "[weapon] vanishes in a flash of smoke" to occur.

Be warned!
