Dig

Template:Version031 Template:Flavour Dig is a monster-only spell which permanently destroys any rock walls, as well as other sorts of diggable terrain (slimy walls, iron grates, inanimate statues, etc.), in a straight line from the caster. It cannot affect stone, metal, green crystal, or any other kind of wall. This spell does not harm you in any way, but makes both escape and limiting the number of enemies you face at once difficult. Note that monsters can cast Dig when they are outside the player's line of sight.

Players may duplicate this spell's effects with a wand of digging.
