The proper use for a staff of cancellation is to use it on creatures such as: Umber Hulks Medusas The procedure is to zap the critter as you would with any other applicable wand and the wand will cancel the creatures' special ability, i.e. to confuse you or petrify you.

No... No..... Let me try to set the records straight !!!!!! There is absolutely NO use trying to zap Umber Hulks (Medusas) with the staff of cancellation. These guys only confuse you when they first see you. So if you are still unconfused after seeing them, there is no need to cancel anything. Hopefully this clears the doubts......

In version 5.2 (mctesq was here) and possibly 3.4 (?), U's have a CHANCE of confusing you when you first see them, and they ALSO have a CHANCE of confusing you each time they hit you. Like Ants, which don't weaken you all the time (even though they hit & take damage). -- Allan Pratt ...ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!apratt
