Properties

Glass, as would be expected, shatters under strong forces. Items made of glass can shatter when thrown at a wall, or when hit with force bolt or a wand of striking. Monsters made of glass do not shatter.

Examples

  • Potions are all made of glass
  • Crystal armor suits are made of glass and can shatter like any other object. What happens if a crystal armor gets hit with a wand of striking?
  • Some gems are not valuable, but simply worthless glass.
  • A wand can have the description "a glass wand".
  • Monsters include glass golems and glass piercers.

Miscellaneous information

  • Hazardous potions and lit potions of oil make nifty grenades, causing the hit enemy to fall under the effects of that potion.
  • Throwing a potion of healing at a pet could be useful.
  • Nymphs often carry looking glasses which behave like glass, shattering under a strong blow (and infer a luck penalty when broken).
