       How do I keep my spellbooks from being destroyed by fire? 
       Deathwreaker, Narya, and the One Ring grant immunity to fire. If
       you do not have immunity to fire, always bring at least 2 copies
       of the first 4 spellbooks on trips to the dungeon. Take more if
       you have a high STR. The 5 most powerful spellbooks of each class
       are immune to destruction by fire.

       Why did my maximum mana suddenly go down? 
       [trees.gif] There are two possible equipment-related causes:
       1) All spellcasters are penalized for wearing a combination of
       armor items weighing over a certain amount. This simulates the
       general encumbering effects of heavy armor. Try removing some
       armor to restore your mana, if this is a problem.
       2) Mages, and other mage-type spell casters, lose mana for wearing
       gloves (or gauntlets or cestus). This simulates the interference
       they cause with the intricate gestures required for spellcasting.
       Gloves providing either free action and/or agility will not
       decrease mana. Among these are the artifacts Fingolfin and
       Cambeleg. Priests and paladins don't have this problem, as they
       invoke the power of their deity directly.

       I don't have enough mana to cast a spell. What are the
       consequences if I cast it anyway? 
       Casting a spell without enough mana has a 1/3 chance of damaging
       your CON. It can also cause you to faint from the effort, but the
       chances are not the same as in losing CON.
         _____________________________________________________________
       
       I cast a spell twice in a row. Why doesn't the duration double? 
       Many duration spells don't provide much duration if cast again
       while the effects still last. For example, casting haste self 10
       times in a row isn't a very good use of mana.

       My bolt spell took out a row of monsters! What happened? 
       Certain "bolt" spells (magic missile, lightning, fire and frost
       bolt, etc) have a chance of "super-charging" based on your
       experience level.
         _____________________________________________________________
       
       Where do I find the higher-level spellbooks? 
       There are 9 spellbooks for mages and 9 for priests. The five
       higher-level books can be found deeper in the dungeon, often as
       part of the treasure drops of high-level monsters and uniques. You
       might get lucky and see them at the Black Market. These books are
       not artifacts.
