An easier test would be with, say, dragon hide. That's not too common, yet doesn't have as high a requirement.

I must side with the above. We're safe... For now.

It's true that IVAN does not allow wishing for materials which the character has not seen yet. However, if your character sees the material, it does not mean that you notice it. Rings and wands are made of lots of special materials, and some good ones can be seen in Attnam. For example, the smith and the tailor wear ommel hair.
I vaguely remember something of the sort from a long time back. Maybe a feature from a previous version?

I don't care what the actual score was, that you managed to kill Petrus with Elpuri's head automatically adds a million points. I still don't know how you managed it, I couldn't do it in WM.

Well, it's an old story, from the jconserv days. You may remember the little story I wrote on the guy with strange luck? It was in part inspired by an incident where, upon entering the UT, I found a backpack. As I picked it up, the door opened, the dog was one-shotted, and I faced the hedgehog who did that.

Bah, still doesn't beat my backpack + hedgehog in the starting room.

I dunno. It's better than silent shouting

Weeping blade... I think that's the one that coats itself in acid for extra damage. It's just a short sword otherwise.
