	Contrary to some comments about this spell, Phase, I have read
one can use it to randomly teleport their character through a wall
into another independent room that your character _may_ have never
been in before.

	Last night I was playing my Singe Player game and was presented a
dungeon L5 with stairs into it but no stairs leading down to L6 or
stairs leading up to the town.  However the auto map and two views in
the dungeon clearly showed there was more dungeon I needed to reach
somehow.  One location especially had a very thin wall between it and
where my character was.  I kept buying Phase scrolls (for lack of
nothing better to try) and the first 3 phased me to a different point
in the same room.  The fourth phase moved me through this wall into
the new dungeon region.  I was able to complete not only that dungeon
level but also the quest I was on for the Magic Rock that fell from
the heavens for Griswold and, of course, I found the missing stairs
tool.

	I am specifically pointing this out because most people I have
read on the subject think the Phase Spell is useless or very limited
in tactical purpose and this is a good example of a critical use.
