Stuff like this casts serious doubt on whether you wrote the snippets
that have been attributed to you on the snippets site. Hm, anyone
recall Riddler (heh, how could anyone forget)? Was it not he who
accused someone of stealing code he "wrote", when it was publically
available? Irregardless, on to the real stuff...

Hm, before I present the Mailer Code(tm), I'm going to inquire about
the MIB (more is better) aspect of this function. Namely, while some
players seem to enjoy the idea of doing insnae amounts of damage and
being level 2000, wouldn't it be far more enjoyable for serious
players to have fewer levels which _mean_ something? I mean, if
someone had to spend a month to go from level 2 to level 3, then the
level 15 people would seem like "gods" to those young ones, and level
30 people...heh. It was like the first MUD I played, before people
finally figured out the system: level 8 people with a spell of
invisibility made everyone gasp. Sometimes it's better to be naive
and full of bliss, than seasoned with a jaded view. ON to the code...

You'll have to call it in perform_violence(). Of course, if you call
it right in perform_violence(), you can greatly simplify the above
code. But I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader (I think my
weapon spells patch (wspell.diff.tgz) will help with that).
