BRANDISH


Syntax:  brandish
         quaff    <potion>
         recite   <scroll> [target]
         zap      [target]

BRANDISH uses a magical staff.  Magical staves have effects which encompass the
entire room.

QUAFF quaffs a magical potion (as opposed to drink, which drink mundane
liquids).

RECITE reads a magical scroll.  If no target is given, it is assumed to be the
reader of the scroll unless a target is required by the nature of the scroll
itself.

ZAP uses a magical wand.  If no target is given, it is assumed to be the foe
the character is attacking.

A wand or a staff must be held before using BRANDISH or ZAP.

All of these commands use up charges on the devices.  Potions and scrolls have
a single use.  Wands and staves have multiple charges.  When a magical object
has no more charges, it will be consumed.

Note:  The use of magical staves, wands and the recitation of scrolls requires
       the appropriate skill.  The quaffing of potions requires no skill,
       anyone can do it.
