I've added a little feature to discourage people from going zap
happy. Since people like to zap shop keepers, I added a wand of
genocide with a max of 3 charges (no need to make the guy too
studly) and a probability of .01 of find one. The monster just 
disappears with no message, much like a wand of teleport monster 
does. This tends to encourage the guy to use it on the next shop
keeper... Do you think this unbalances the game?
