    Default Note to self: get adjusted to holy spell names

    So I'm relatively new to holy classes, and I've taken a recent liking to gnomish priests. This particular character was doing very well, having pre-crowned twice obtaining the "Ironfist" gauntlets (str+7) first and "Skullcrusher" club second. I had an amazingly lucky start, finding both an amulet of life saving and a ring of djinni summoning as I found out after completing the first quest at dwarftown. I wished for pairs of seven league boots. I had just gotten Rolf's Companion in preparation to sacrifice it for a real crowning when I decided to store some of my extra seven league boots and amulet of life saving in the dwarven mystic room so they wouldn't get destroyed... I had teleported in just fine using the spell, but when I went to teleport out I confused "Ethereal Bridge" (teleport) with "Greater Divine Touch" (Death Ray, yeah, I know fml Idk how I confused them either). Long story short, my priest committed the ultimate sin and killed his dumb self.

    Why does the game even have the option to shoot a deathray at oneself?! Arghhhhh!!!! Easily the best yet most disappointing start I've ever had. SIGH...

    Ouch - that really hurts!

    Many is the time I've messed up with the difference in names between holy/arcane spells so I do feel your pain...

    You've got to admit "Rain of Sorrow" and "Invoked Devastation" do sound pretty cool, though.

    I had that once with a wand of digging and a wand of death, since both names begin with D.
    You can imagine my surprise when I'm trying to dig a tunnel through a wall and suddenly the bolt bounces back...

    Oh, man. That's the kind of misfortune you pray only happens once, like firing magic missiles into tight corners.
