I have seen some articles to net.games.rogue recently about the vorpalize weapon scroll. My question concerns zapping a vorpalized weapon. If you do zap such a weapon, have you lost the +1,+1 you received from reading the scroll? Or have you just lost the one zap you get? If you do zap your weapon, can you then read another vorpalize weapon scroll on it and not have the weapon vanish in a cloud of black smoke? If it zaps by itself while fighting a monster (presumably the monster to which it is attuned), does this have exactly the same effects (in terms of ability losses) as zapping it yourself? Thanks in advance for any helpful responses. - Nathan Glasser (Pulsar) ..genrad!mit-eddie!nathan ..decvax!yale!nglasser

I've never known the things to just randomly zap themselves. Is the random generator being good to me or what? robert -- Robert Viduya Office of Computing Services Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta GA 30332 Phone: (404) 894-4669 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,masscomp,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!robert ...!{rlgvax,sb1,uf-cgrl,unmvax,ut-sally}!gatech!gitpyr!robert
