Artefacts:
----------
Weapons, armour and jewellery items can be artefacts. These come in two 
flavours: predefined artefacts ('fixedarts'), and randomly created ones
('randarts'). Artefacts will always carry unusual names, for example 
"golden sword" or "shimmering scale mail". Also, artefacts cannot 
be modified in any way, including enchantments. 
Apart from that, otherwise mundane items can get one special property.
These are called 'ego items', and examples are: boots of running, a weapon
of flaming, a helmet of see invisible, and so on. Note that such items 
can be modified, and thus are subject to corrosion and enchanting scrolls. 
All ego items are noted with special adjectives but not all items noted in 
this way need have a special property (they often have some enchantment, 
though):
 weapons: glowing, runed;
 metal armours: shiny;
 leather armours, animal skins: dyed;
 other armours: runed, embroidered.

Most spells have caps on their effects: no matter how intelligent and 
proficient you are, there is a limit for the damage you can achieve
with Magic Darts.
