[I love my wombat]

I just got done finishing two games of Rogue on our PC
which is almost 5.3. I have a question. I was down on level
11, and I found a scroll which I read a little while later.
When I read it, it responded ' You mace flashed '
(I was wielding my mace the time). It increased it from
a +1, +1 mace to a +2, +2 mace. I thought neat and went along.
A couple of levels down I ran into a wraith sleeping and I wanted
to hit it with one of mine wands, but when I asked for all of
my wands to strike with, it listed the mace as well!!!

The next game, I had a long sword. I ran across the same scroll
and it increased it from a +0, +0 long sword to a +1, +1 long
sword. Again, I thought neato. So, moving along at level 14, I
saw a troll which I thought was sleeping. I had another one
of those scrolls, so I thought ' Ha, I read this scroll and
make my sword better to kick that slimey troll's ass'. As I read the 
scroll,  it said "Your long sword vanishes in a puff of smoke".

Now, What the HELL is going on here ???

My best guess is that it turns your weapon into a wand
of either fire, striking, or light, or something like that.
reading two of them is bad news though ( The troll ended up
waking up and kick the shit out of me).
