Fixed

Fixed is a keyword that you may use when wishing for an item, such as in the case of '+2 blessed fixed gauntlets of power'.

'Fixed' is a general term used to indicate an item that has been rustproofed, fireproofed, corrodeproofed, or rotproofed, depending upon which is applicable to the item, to prevent erosion. When used in a wish, the game will substitute in its place the term that fits the item, thus relieving the casual player from trying to remember which material the item is made of. 'Fooproof' is a similar term that also means protection from all the kinds of erosion, but the game does not recognize it.

Originally, fixed referred to crysknives; a fixed crysknife will revert to a worm tooth when dropped only 10% of the time.

Internally, the game uses the same bit for each type of erosion proofing and fixedness, which is why the wishing code is so lax in accepting synonyms.
