Staff

In the game: help brandish

Use wands, staves and scrolls.

Syntax: zap <wand|spellring> [target]
Syntax: brandish
Syntax: recite <scroll> [target]

quaff  <potion> <container>    (quaff directly from container)

BRANDISH invokes a magical staff.

QUAFF quaffs a potion (as opposed to DRINK, which drinks mundane liquids).

RECITE recites a magical scroll; the <target> is optional, depending on the nature of the scroll.

ZAP fires a magical wand, or a crafted jewelry item, at a target. If the target is not specified, and you are fighting someone, then that character is used for a target.

You must be holding a wand or a staff before using BRANDISH or ZAP.

All of these commands use up their objects: Potions and scrolls have a single charge. Wands and staves (staffs) have multiple charges. When a magical object has no more charges, it will be consumed. Use the spell 'identify' to see the remaining charges.

Details

'zap' also works with spellrings. In combat, 'zap' with no argument zaps your current opponent with your held wand.

The game also finds it under: brandish, recite, zap, scroll, wand, staff.
