Glorious news, all. A new type of Wonder has just been discovered. Masks
of Wonder can be formed from Wonder Crystals in the traditional way
(WONDERMASK FORM), and these can take up to twenty crystals, with each
crystal imbuing the mask with a new power. The powers are listed below,
and are also visible in HELP WONDERMASKS.

As the mask is powered up, grander and grander names can be uncovered
with the use of WONDERMASK TRANSFORM. Will you be the first to own
Jeremiah Gryphta's Marvellous Mask of Divine Realities? Only you can
decide!

You can use WONDERMASK SWITCH <face> to activate the powers from one of
the faces - only one face will be active at a time. Your description in
a room will also change to '<person> with a <type> face', to really show
off the mask's appearance!

Below are the powers available at each level of power imbued in the
Mask.

1. Pilgrim Face - Charity influence buff (2/7).
2. Angel Face - Empower influence buff (2/7).
3. Wakabi Face - Regain sanity 33% faster than normal (stacks

there is a 15% chance you will resist the fear and they will
be inflicted with a random mental affliction.
