• New Vlad alternatives
  • Possibly some alternitives to Vlad, for example going into the Iron Tower (in Dis), or searching the depths of Tarterus for the CoI
  • Hopefully could also be an excuse to make Vlad not so laughably easy
  • More in depth here

• Waterproofing for scrolls -- Some protection against typoing and falling into a pool However, a waterproofed bad scroll would be impossible to blank to get rid of. This also raises the selling/buying price in stores.

• Useless item shop
  • Sells iron chains, wands of nothing (7:-1), scrolls of mail (spam), waterproofed amnesia/punishment (see above) and other items!
  • Note: does not buy any of these items.
  • Possibly could be good for identification...
  • Possibly a guaranteed useless item shop in Orcus or Dis

• Wizard lock are always brown spell books and dropping one in a broken doorway creates a door (poor man's locking)

• New status problem -- radioactivity poisoning
  • You stop regenerating hp
  • Cured by praying, extra healing, etc.
  • Breaking a uranium wand gives this affect as well as the normal wand breaking affect
  • New monster -- radioactive mechanic Q which gives you radioactivity poisoning when it hits you
  • Posibly new D for it... D

• Finisher spells
  • Why should attack spells have all of the attacking?
  • Each school (attack, clerical, divination, enchantment, escape, healing, and matter) has a "finisher spell"
  • Only one of them will be in each game
  • You learn them from the artifact spellbook the necronomicon, from the (new) branch "the library"
  • Attack is finger of death
  • Clerical is holy smite -- Wide angle disintegration beam against a monster -- Has to be with good standing with deity
  • Divination is insight -- Next attack that you have on them that hits is an instakill
  • Enchantment is thrall -- Like charm monster, but targeted and with a higher chance of working
  • Escape is teleport monster -- teleports monsters away, as the wand + a chance (20%?) of teleporting them to nowhere
  • Healing is energy surge -- Instakills undead, heals non-undead. If their hitpoints go above some level (20-40% of starting), they "explode in a blast of positive energy"
  • Mater is baleful polymorph -- polymorphs monsters into newts and lichens

• Faustian Bargains
  • You can summon devils (not demons) for gains
  • More in depth here

• Deafness
  • Suppresses any you hear * messages.
