magic missile...

Many really powerfull characters (not only mine) died becouse of accidentally casting magic missile on wall tile when in corridor. Can we have at least warrning message. eg: "Are you really wanna do this ??? (Y/N)" when casting bouncing spells directly on wall ? Or at least chance to escape this death loop before final hit? (maybe high alertness or dodge could help ?)

i mean look at example - situation below its really sad:

1. which direction ? 12346789 ? 8 !

I look at this as a part of the joys of roguelikes: the number of unexpected ways that you can die. ..Sure, I have killed myself this way in the past -- and I would rather this 'feature' stay present so others can enjoy the joy and the pain of death by stupidity. :)

I can see the utility but I think the bouncing risk (accidental key or not) is an integral part of the game. IMO, wizard would be a lot easier if you implement something like this. From what I read, wizard is already one of the most easiest classes out there. The majority of the other classes can avoid spell casting for the most part. I've never won or really tried to go far with a wizard for this reason. I'm too scared of suicide by spell.

hells to the nah.

C'mon, this is one of the more hilarious ways to die: it's one of the reasons ADOM is so much fun! Sure, I'm a bit bitter that I killed a druid w/ a bounced death ray on D:50, but it's really amusing when you think about it -- and this isn't even the magic missile bouncing between two walls, which is even funnier.
