These commands may require an item skill to be successful, see the help entries on the skills scrolls, staves, and wands for more information.
Brandish: Brandishes a magical staff. Staff or wand must be held before using.
Quaff: Quaffs a magical potion (as opposed to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids).
Recite: Recites a magical scroll. The <target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll.
Zap: Zaps a magical wand at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting someone, then that character is used for the target.
All of these commands will use up their objects. Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves may have multiple charges. When all charges have been used, the item will be consumed.
These items may require an adeptness to the skill in order to be successful.
NOTE: Using any consumable - wand, scroll, etc. That can disarm, charm, enchant weapons or armor, etc. And then using it to purposely destroy another players weapon/gear, in or out of their corpse, is illegal.
