153You need a spell to uncurse or undamn items, but luckily, magic shops commonly have scrolls of remove curse or remove damnation. In addition, all of the gods except the Devourers can remove curses, and Gnarg, Lythander, Mostrai, Gaea, and Valriel can remove damnation. Gaea also grants the remove damnation spell at 300 grace. 157You need a spell to uncurse or undamn items, but luckily, magic shops commonly have scrolls of remove curse or remove damnation.

163=head3 When I log-in, I keep dying! Why is this?
164
165What happened is that you died of a cave-in. Cave-ins kill you when you unsafely log out. An unsafe log out is when you disconnect without using a bed to reality, or when you time out (after 10-20 seconds without reply, the server automatically kicks players). Safe log outs are when you log out using a bed to realtiy, or when you are disconnected when the server crashes or restarts.
166
167If the disconnection was safe, then you will appear where you were before you got logged out. If it was unsafe, and more than 1 hour has passed, you will die of a cave-in. If the map you were in reset, but 1 hour has not passed, then you will be recalled to your bed to reality.

169=head3 How does the I<identify> spell work?
170
171The I<identify> spell identifies your items, making it give it's full description. The spell goes through your inventory in a psuedo-random order, skipping past identified items. If it identifies all the items in your inventory, or they are already identified, it then checks for identified items on the ground, again in a psuedo-random order. If it identifies all the items on the ground, then the remaining power is wasted.
172
173The I<identify> spell counts stacks of items, such as arrows or gems, as one 'item'. It can only identify a certain amount of items. Therefore, the only way to choose what it identifies is by dropping what you don't want identified on the ground.
