Must be a radioactive dump site.. Needs a wand of'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority. 'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.' He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice. 'Saruman, your staff is broken.' There was a crack, and the staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it fell down at Gandalf's feet. 'Go!' said Gandalf. With a cry Saruman fell back and crawled away. [ The Two Towers, by J.R.R.

I give this an E for Externally visible smile, as opposed to just an nod of appreciation. And, appropriately, the test question asks what represents a wand'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority. 'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed.

Amazing I've never actually gotten anything useful from digging up graves. :(

I thought this one would make a better first impression than some of my other ideas. Some of my jokes can be... out there.

w00t. All uranium wands should be wands of polymorph (radioactive mutations). And all glass (breakable) wands should be wands of wishing.

"And all glass (breakable) wands should be wands of wishing." Oh dear GodGoddesses and Gods operate in ones, threesomes, or whole pantheons of nine or more (see Religion). Most of them claim to have made the world, and this is indeed a likely claim in the case of threesomes or pantheons: Fantasyland does have the air of having been made by a committee. But all Goddesses and Gods, whether they say they made the world or not, have very detailed short-term plans for it which they are determined to carry out. Consequently they tend to push people into the required actions by the use of coincidence or Prophecy, or just by narrowing down your available choices of what to do next: if a deity is pushing you, things will go miserably badly until there is only one choice left to you.

Agreed with Callie. How much more sadistic do you need to make this game? Wishing would make more sense as 'glowing wands'... except those don't actually exist in Nethack. I must be thinking of ADoM.

Heh, for once the question didn't screw me. First it asked for "useful tool" and I always put that the wrong way around. The next question was weapon (which I also put the wrong way). Not this time. Tada.

If wands of wishing would always be glass, they could be identified without using a scrollAnd I was gazing on the surges prone, With many a scalding tear and many a groan, When at my feet emerg'd an old man's hand, Grasping this scroll, and this same slender wand. I knelt with pain--reached out my hand--had grasp'd Those treasures--touch'd the knuckles--they unclasp'd-- I caught a finger: but the downward weight O'erpowered me--it sank. Then 'gan abate The storm, and through chill aguish gloom outburst The comfortable sun. I was athirst To search the book, and in the warming air Parted its dripping leaves with eager care. Strange matters did it treat of, and drew on My soul page after page, till well-nigh won Into forgetfulness; when, stupefied, I read these words, and read again, and tried My eyes against the heavens, and read again.

In typical Dudley fashion, the follow-up would be "You irradiate yourself with pure energy!" Nicely done.

Glass wands could be wands of lightStrange creatures formed from energy rather than matter, lights are given to self-destructive behavior when battling foes.

Strange, glass = lightStrange creatures formed from energy rather than matter, lights are given to self-destructive behavior when battling foes.

But people would complain about that making things easier for the playerThese strange creatures live mostly on the surface of the earth, gathering together in societies of various forms, but occasionally a stray will descend into the depths and commit mayhem among the dungeon residents who, naturally, often resent the intrusion of such beasts. They are capable of using weapons and magic, and it is even rumored that the Wizard of Yendor is a member of this species.
