| Description | Combining wands and potions of gain ability now have plausible effects. |
| With this patch, dipping a wand of nothing into a non-cursed potion of gain ability causes it to gain an ability, i.e. to change into a wand of something (chosen by the normal wand probabilities). Conversely, dipping a wand that is not a wand of nothing into a cursed potion of gain ability will strip it of its ability, i.e. turn it into a wand of nothing. The normal wand polymorph penalty applies - the wand will usually increment its recharge counter - but this does not (currently) count against polypileless conduct. | |

| I like things that are uncommon. People do not know this is possible, just like people do not know that I have implemented "brewing" in my variant (soon to possibly be completed and available for download)[Quote] | ||

| I like the concept, but won't this just incentivize boring behaviors like dipping every unidentifiable wand into every unidentified non-polymorph potion in the hopes that it's nothing and the potion is gain ability? I mean, things like this exist already with potion dipping, but that's not a reason to add more of them.[Quote] | ||

| Does this still trigger the summoning abilities of smoky/milky potions?[Quote] | ||
