    Earthquake Staves

    I'm wondering if staves of earthquakes could be a fun way to clear out the throne room, assuming you have enough defense to get most of the enemies bundled up around you. Read "fun" here in a Dwarf Fortress sort of way, meaning horribly dangerous and likely to get you killed but worth doing to be awesome.

    From what I could find in the code, the Angband spell earthquake had a max radius of 10, with 10d8 damage at one square out, decreasing by a die every square to max. But I haven't been able to see if Sil uses that for the earthquake stave, or something else, or if Will affects the damage/radius, or just success chance.

    Any ideas? It seems like it would be hilarious to pull all of Morgoth's servants around you and then drop the ceiling down while he watches.

    Doesn't Morgoth himself do that for you? I dunno how hammer-quakes compare to staff-quakes, but I know he has a nasty habit of killing his own servants while trying to squash you.
