Actually it is not necessary to know the Wizard's password, a slight bit
of cleverness will suffice. A kludge or two to the executable (if, like us,
you don't have the source) will get you just what you want. It's fun, a good
learning experience--but you do lose some of rouge's unique charm, you know,
the four letter words you spew when the VF holds you and an UH confuses you
or when you fall through three levels in sixty seconds, etc.
Anyway, here's what we learned:
N Scrolls Potions Wands Rings
- ------- ------- ----- -----
0 Confuse monster Confusion Light Protection
1 Magic mapping Paralysis Striking Add strength
2 Hold monster Poison Lightning Sustain strength
3 Sleep Gain strength Fire Searching
4 Enchant armor See invisible Cold See invisible
5 Identify Healing Polymorph Adornment
6 Scare monster Monster detection Magic missile Aggravate monster
7 Gold detection Magic detection Haste monster Dexterity
8 Teleportation Raise level Slow monster Increase damage
9 Enchant weapon Extra Healing Drain life Regeneration
a Create monster Haste self Nothing Slow digestion
b Remove curse Restore strength Teleport away Teleportation
c Aggravate monster Blindness Teleport to Stealth
d Blank paper Thirst quenching Cancellation Maintain armor
e Genocide
f Puzzling scroll
N Armor
- -----
0 Leather armor
1 Ring mail
2 Studded leather armor
3 Scale mail
4 Chain mail
5 Slint mail
6 Banded mail
7 Plate mail
Commands:
---------
^A Count things in pack
^D Down level
^E Food left
^F Find everything
^H Jump 9 levels, get armor and sword
^I strange
^N Recharge staff
^P Drop/gain wizard status
^T Teleport
^U Up level
^W Identify object
^X Toggle monster detection
@ Report screen location
C Create object
i.e., "C!8" for a potion of raise level,etc. I heartily recommend that
everyone play in wizard mode at least once.

P.S. We're new on the net, even newer to news/notes, would anybody out there
have old net.games.rogue submissions archived that they could send us?
It would be greatly appreciated.
oh, yah, can't forget to thank vrs for working on bringing wizard mode to be
a reality, and beating me to completion of the above list.
one more thing, be i accused of spoiling someones fun:
1) I'm not telling anybody HOW to do it. If they manage to become
wizard (God?) they'll figure all this out anyway.
2) Nobody is being forced to read this.
3) Wizard mode is, in my opinion an educational expierence, it
helps make an adequate rogue player into, well... an adequate
rogue player (WHATEVER that may mean). Pressing ^char while
in wizard mode is not going to help anyone figure anything out,
using the above list will.
4) 99% of the challenge (&fun) of wizard mode is figuring out how
to access it!
