Whip of Gothmog is *made out of fire*. So yeah, it has light. Cettainly blessed weapons should not be vulnerable to removal of light, and indeed should up the fail rate even more.

Gothmog is a creature of fire and shadow; what does that look like? I can definitely see an argument for his whip making things darker.

Ah, you noticed that.

I'm reluctant to do that. Messing with item properties (aside from curses) is something that was taken out when the old Curse Armor and Curse Weapon scrolls were removed, and it doesn't feel quite right to me.

Maybe giving necromancers -1 to the light bonus on any object would be a possibility?

Wait, so you're saying sound worked as well as the lore file saving properly? I must be even more awesome than I thought.

I thought so, but it's still crashing on quit. Spinning cursor and then I get the Angband quit unexpectedly message. And now when I start again, open my save file, save, get the failure trying to create window.prf.new and lore.txt.new

Starting a new character though, I was able to turn randarts on and that part seems to be working. I'm playing with full monster memory, so it shouldn't need to write to lore.txt much? Turning sound on seems to trigger the bug.

I would expect lore.txt being updated with the kill counts on each save.

I've suggested elsewhere that Morgul weapons should be usable for necromancers which doesn't solve the light issue but may give them some alternatives.

Curiously, that doesn't trigger the bug.

May I suggest that Ent draughts make @ just a wee bit taller. But not referenced in the description. Just a little Easter Egg for those who notice the change on their character information screens. :D

I love it! :-D
