him More thirsty.

for any drunkness/fullness/thirst the person will be
sober, hungry, or thirsty respectively.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!
Since the level versus average damage calculations are performed as shown
in "spell_info.doc" all the offensive spells are individually much stronger
than higher level spells. For example:
1 fireball of level 15 gives more damage than one of level 16 which give
more damage than level 17 which give more damage than level 18 which
give more.... etc.
Thus please make all offensive potions/scrolls/etc. as the basic level
they are designed for. You can see the level below. You can see the spells
average damage, by looking at the spell versus the level of the spell,
divided by the number of spells learned at that particular level. Example:
Level 9 Lightning bolt give (102/2) average damage. Divided by 2, because
this is the level at which it is first learned (You can almost
always cast two spells are first learned level). At level 10 it
gives (120/3) average damage.
Looking at the table in "spell_info.doc", you should know that each spell
is designed so that it will kill a victim three levels below the mana user,
if the manauser ONLY cast his spell....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Y/N rows below indicate which potions/scrolls/wands/staffs that are
possible to make. The MIN_LEV is the Minimum Level DEMANDED by the item
you are making. The game will crash if making level less than demanded.
