Stethoscope doesn't exercise wisdom?
My code diving is fairly amateurish, but I think that you don't exercise wisdom if you use a stethoscope to detect sercret doors. My reasons:
- Stethoscope use is dealt with in apply.c. The section in question, apply.c#line292, when you use a stethoscope and do find a secret door, the function called is cvt_sdoor_to_door(lev). This is dealt with in detect.c#line980, which only returns the appropriate modifications to the map (NEWMASK) but nothing else.
- Rather than use a specific function like stethoscopes, if you search "normally" using the "s" key, you reference the function dosearch() which goes to dosearch0() which contains EXERCISE(A_WIS, TRUE) which is the statement that handles exercise of a stat.
This is depressing for my Healers, who usually are so fragile I can't spend 15+ turns as a sitting duck searching at the end of a seemingly dead-end corridor, and use the stethoscope regularly.
