Buying "Weapon Skill" implies that you get a "free" I99 on that
turn. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea (since II99 was
one of my earlier orders).

De nada. As soon as I was aware of the problem, I realised that
it was the work of five minutes to cut out the spell list, and some of the
more "crafty" tricks from the FAQ. Should anyone wish me to cut out
more, just drop me some email ("Censorship 'R Us").

Drat, and double drat. Ok, you lot, send me *complete* spell lists
with the name of the company you got them from ASAP (though I'll be
off the net 'til after Xmas).
