I've done some experimenting as the wizard and found that +7 plate mail
always works, "3 +3 crysknives" sometimes works and sometimes gives
you 3 -3 crysknives (does anyone know if weilding 3 weapons works any
better than weilding one?). You can only wish for one wand at a time,
3 of anything else, and +3 anything always seems to work.

Incorrect.  I have wished for +3 gloves and +3 crysknifes and
gotten -3 stuff.  I had to go to +2 to get the stuff.  The actual
scenario involved a) wishing for a +3 crysknife, b) enchanting
it until it evaporated, c) wishing for another +3 crysknife.
The second one was ALWAYS -3.  Also, you don't need the article
to wish for something.  "wand of digging" and "a wand of digging"
are the same thing.

A note of caution - make sure you're not totally loaded up when
you wish.  If you are, you'll get "Unfortunately, nothing happens"
when you wish.

Wishing for a wand of wishing gets you a wand of wishing.  With 0 charges.

Wishing for a wand of wishing does NOT give you a wand of wishing with
0 charges. It gives you a wand of wishing with a 1d10 chance of being
charged.

To have a unicorn accept a gem from you, raising your luck by 5, you
must throw it a gem that 1. Has been identified and 2. Is worth something.

I have had a unicorn accept both gems that were unidentified and gems that
were worthless (a worthless piece of yellow glass).
