			== Spell Skill enhancement nerfed ==

			In Weapon.c the slots_required() function is different for Spell skills than in nethack. It nerfs Spellcasting by requiring 2 slots to go from basic to skilled (rather than 1) and 3 slots to go from skilled to expert (rather than 2). If your strategy is a spellcasting wizard, you'll need to get the character much higher level before you can use the higher level spells. Potential catch-22 - if you need those higher level spells to get the character to higher experience levels.

			This difference needs to be documented somewhere in the SLASHEM wiki pages.

	I don't have SLASH'EM on my local machine so I can't do wizard mode, and I've only played a handful of games. It'd be nice if someone could flesh out more of the SLASH'EM pages. -- [[User:Qazmlpok\|Qazmlpok]] 14:22, March 14, 2010 (UTC)		I don't have SLASH'EM on my local machine so I can't do wizard mode, and I've only played a handful of games.

			== Something else I noticed ==

			When I try to cast a spell with insufficient power, I got the message '''Continue? [yn] (n)'''.
			When I answer y, the spell is cast dealing damage to me instead of removing power.
			This is not mentioned here.
			What exactly is happening?

			==Other differences==
			Just added a section on the changed timeout rules for spellcasting. However there are a large number of other differences that have no mention at all. For example,
			*Spellbooks have charges. In vanilla, there's a #DEFINE for the max number of times a book can be read instead.
			*All body armor except robes increase the cast penalty, although not as much as iron body armor
			*The effects of some of the techniques, i.e. [[sigil of control]], should probably be mentioned in this article.
			Then there's all the new spellbooks with missing pages.
