A combination of a [[Polearms|spear]] and a [[wand]] of striking. Wield it as a weapon and when the situation turns really dire, (z)ap it for a powerful magic missile. Causes a large explosion when broken similar to offensive wands.
  
A tool is an item used on another item or on the environment for some utilitarian purpose. Strangely, tools are often very light or very heavy.

One of the most useful tools in the game; pickaxes are mostly used for digging shortcuts through dungeon walls and mining for precious metals. A [[Scroll of Detect Material]] will help keep you from having to mine every single square of wall.

Harder walls and dirt obviously require a harder pickaxe; an [[Octiron]] pickaxe will be plenty good enough for the majority of the game. By the time you need something harder than '''that''', you'll have much more pressing issues than looking for pretty rocks.
 
 
 
== Stethoscopes ==

While they seem a bit out of place in a world of swords and magic, stethoscopes are quite useful for seeing the stats of literally anything that moves. They are mostly good for checking yourself or allies for leprosy, parasites, and perma-stats you can't normally see in your character window such as [[Confusion]] or [[Teleporting]]. Even hostile units can be examined; apparently even [[Sherarax]] will pull up her shirt and take a deep breath for you. \;-} (woo woo!)
 
 
 
Using a stethoscope does not take up a turn; feel free to examine your enemies midcombat without fear of reprisal.

Used for bringing light were there was none before, light source is a must for every adventurer. Most dungeons are fully dark except for small illuminated rooms and thus you have to carry your own light. The first thing most players will pick up is a lantern in the entrance room of [[Underwater Tunnels]].
