A lot of people don't realize that the wizard mode is for debugging
purposes only, not a character class.  I'm not sure it's stated anywhere
in the doc.  Speaking of not stated anywhere, could someone please post
a listing of what all the bizarre weapons are?  I haven't the slightest
idea what a katana, shriuken or morningstar is and how effective they
are against monsters.  Has anyone a collection of hack hints out there?
