RE: CF: WoR (was: extended map format?)

Word of Recall is a massive cheat (IMNSHO).  At the very least
it should randomly decimate your inventory.  If adventurers want
to risk going into a level and then stealing a choice item via Word
of Recall so be it, but we need to make that risk sufficiently high.
This is/was a bug/feature of the Dark Temple(?) map--the crystal
of power on the bottom level was relatively unguarded to get to,
but once you grabbed it all hell broke loose (ala Raiders of the
Lost Ark)  However if you brought in a WoR scroll you could blip
out without facing the music.  Bias the inventory decimation 
towards recently acquired items (anyway to know this?) and
you'd effectively eliminate the upside on WoR.
