Monster use Will not be used by monsters.

A can of grease can be applied to grease any item. This protects them from rust and corrosion and also from grabbing attacks. A mind flayer can not attach its tentacles to a greased helmet either.

The layer of grease is not permanent and it may wear off due to an attack. Then you can choose to apply the can of grease to the item in question again.

Cursed cans will make your fingers greasy (a towel can be used to wipe them clean). You can grease your hands (should you wish to for some reason) with a non-cursed can by choosing "-" when prompted.

The can may be recharged using a scroll of charging. The can may also be used to untrap squeaky boards.
