Drop

To drop something is to remove it from your inventory and place it on the ground under you. While levitating, the item is dropped from a height; if the item is fragile it may shatter. Dropping items is often necessary since carrying too much weight will cause the player to become burdened. The player's pack only has a limited amount of space, too -- in most cases, only enough room for two different items for each letter of the alphabet.

Sometimes it is impossible to drop items due to their BUC status. It is not possible to drop a cursed loadstone.
