The {@x#} Inscription
---------------------
+
The {@x#} inscription (where 'x' is the key to activate a specific
-command and '#' is a number from 0 to 9) is, perhaps the most commonly
-used inscription. When you select command 'x', followed by a number
-'#', the game searches for an object with the inscription {@x#} and
-performs that command upon it. Thus if the player inscribes a Potion of
-Healing as {@q1}, then pressing 'q1' will quaff it automatically. This
-feature is useful because as items are added or removed from your
-inventory, the actual slot that they are in changes. However, the
-inscription will work regardless of the position.
-
-There is an exception; when the command is 'm' (cast spell), you can
-use any alphabet letter as '#' instead of a number, such like {@ma} or
-{@mb}. This feature is added because pressing an alphabet key is
-easier and faster than pressing a number key in rogue-like keymap.
+command and '#' is an object tag (number or alphabet)) is, perhaps the

+position.
Note that you can inscribe multiple different objects with the same
inscription {@x#}. If you do so, the command 'x#' will act on the first
of them.
Also note that you can place multiple such inscriptions on a single
-object. So that a spell book might be inscribed {@m1@b1@G1} since the
+object. So that a spell book might be inscribed {@ma@ba@Ga} since the
cast spell, browse book, and gain spell commands each require a spell
book reference as an argument. You can also inscribe the same command

+more than one so that food item might be inscribed {@E1@E2}
Example 1:
You have a primary weapon and a shovel. You normally use the
'w0' whenever you want to exchange weapon and shovel.

To cast the first spell from your first spell book, you would
normally type 'maa' and to cast the first spell from the second

or destroyed, pressing 'mba' would no longer cast the spell you

Example 3:

The {@#} Inscription
---------------------
-The {@#} inscription (where '#' is a number from 0 to 9) is similar
-to the {@x#} inscription except that it works for any command. Thus, if
-you engrave both your digging instrument and your primary weapon with
-{@0}, pressing 'w0' will wield whichever one is not being currently
-wielded. However, if you had also inscribed a potion with {@0}, you
-would instead get an error message because the potion appears first in
-the inventory and you can not wield potions.

The {!x} Inscription

artifact. For example, a Long Sword (2d5) (+10,+10) which is inscribed
as {#of Hoge} is displayed as 'a Long Sword of Hoge (2d5) (+10,+10)'.
+The {!!} Inscription
+--------------------
+
+The {!!} Inscription on a rod or artifact tells the game to report you
+when the object is recharged and became activatable again.
+
+The {.} Inscription
+--------------------
+
+The {.} Inscription on a equipment which has ability of random
+teleportaion prevents the game from asking you whether you want to
+teleport or not on random chance, and the game automatically decide
+not to teleport. But the ability of random teleportation has another
+function which allows you to follow a teleporting monster; this
+function will not be disabled.

+The {$} Inscription

+The {$} Inscription on a equipment which has ability of warning
