NAME
use - use an item such as a magical wand, orb, or scroll

SYNOPSIS
use <item name> [<target>]

DESCRIPTION
This command allows you to use a magical orb, staff, wand, or
scroll on a target, or a warp stone on yourself. The item must
be held before it can be used.

If a target is not specified and you are currently in combat,
the creature you are fighting will be used as the target
(if a target is needed).

Please note that items such as wands, staves, and orbs have
limited uses (charges) and once the item has run out of charges,
it will consume itself.

With few exceptions, only items of the following types may be USEd:
wands       staves      orbs        scrolls
food        pills       potions     drink containers
warp-stone  manuals     artifacts   trap-kits
spades      pick-axes   tools       fountains

Some items that are not in the above list can also be USEd. They
will almost always have an indication that this is the case in
their descriptions.
  
Some locations in the game have special enchantments that will
essentially "drain" charged magical items if they are used there.
If you use a magical item once that had several charges at the
time and it consumes itself or otherwise disappears, it's possible
you may be in one of those locations.
