[[Image:Ischaldirh.png]] [[Ischaldirh]] the dark archmage has an octagonal key, but good luck getting it.
added pickaxe section.
Hexagonal and octagonal keys/locks are much rarer, as well as being black in color. These are found on the hidden chests in [[Chest Rooms]] and on doors in buildings such as the Cathedral in [[Attnam]]. If you happen to find one in a dungeon or in a shop, make every effort to get your hands on it. They can also be wished for if you possess a Scroll of Wishing.
== 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!)
== Horns ==
The Horn of Fear [[Image:Horn_Of_Fear.gif|A Horn of Fear]] is used to scare away some enemies, and the Horn of Bravery [[Image:Horn Of Bravery.gif|A Horn of Bravery]] is used to calm down yourself and allies.
(see also the [[horn]] section)
== Pickaxes ==
[[Image:Pickaxe.gif]]
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.

♫Dig a tunnel, dig-dig-a-tunnel...♫
Harder walls and dirt obviously require a harder pickaxe; an [[ocitron]] 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.
