Drain Life WILL NEVER EVER GIVE THE MESSAGE "tingling feeling" It will only give: "You hit the x", "You killed the x", or _nothing_ In the case of no monmsters present, it will give something like 'nothing happens' (as with when the charges runs out). ___ Gandalf hou2e!ksl

The drain life wand gives a tingly feeling in rouge 3.6 and 5.2.
