DESCRIPTION STYLE GUIDE

  set_name(({ real, stranger }));

  for example:

  set_name (({ "dwarvish iron helm", "hard hat" }));

  First the player will see it as a hard hat until identified, the player
  will see it always as dwarvish iron helm, until forgot or similar spell
  is cast upon the player.

  Short description is optional on items, as well as set_id() is. There
  is few id's automatically determined: hard hat, hard and hat if not
  identified and if identified then ids will match to dwarvish iron helm,
  dwarvish iron, iron helm, helm, iron and so on.

  "a", "an" and "the" is automatically added to name, depending on the
  situation. "blessed" and "cursed" status, as well as everything other
  special statues are added to item's _short description_ when identified.

  Only the player knowing the item will see those. Therefore, using short
  description is not really suggested on items. For example if we have the
  item identified and item is lying on the floor, just below character's
  feet the short description is: "a cursed dwarvish iron helm is lying here."

  If the item is artifact, then we can add set_artifact("First One"); then
  the item will have unique artifact name as First One. For our example
  item it would be: "a cursed dwarvish iron helm "First One" is lying here."

  Artifact is then really artifacts. Artifacts can't be destroyed, and they
  are gifts from the gods. There can be two same artifacts in the game.

  Artifacts should always have very high price, even if they are powerless.
  It is possible to sacrifice artifacts to gods, but not to the god whose
  gift it was.  Artifact is known only after identifying.
