Allows you to learn the dig spell. It is the special spell for cavemen. Casting this spell is the same as zapping a wand of digging.
Strategy
This is the first irrevocably useful spell in the matter branch of spells, but also has a high difficulty. Zapping it upwards hits you on the head with a rock (not recommended); zapping downwards will dig a pit and allow you to escape to the next level through it; and zapping directionally will allow you to dig through walls. However, you will have a large supply of wands of digging by the time it becomes very useful, in Gehennom, so it is probably not worth learning specifically for that area. While it is the special spell for cavemen, it is almost guaranteed to be useless to them, given the spell's high level and the role's high spellcasting penalty.
