I've been wondering about the knowledge screen; the main use doesn't
really come up in the tutorial. (By "main use", I mean "Can I safely
quaff this potion, or should I expect something nasty?")
I don't want to pre-id any items because I like the way the player can
learn about item properties being hidden without having to be told. (I
had originally planned to say something about this, but then I figured
it wasn't necessary.)
However, mentioning the item you just identified ("That was a potion
of healing! You feel better!") might be useful in general.
Alternatively, I could hand out a stack of two potions where the
player can check the other one to see what it was. (And use it if they
run into trouble against the jackals and kobolds.)

That's an interesting idea. Clicking on the floor = walking, clicking
on a monster = attack with wielded weapon.

Uh, didn't you get that text about forgetting spells by book
destruction? There should be a lengthy message on entering level 2. I
did get the feeling that messages directly on entry are less likely to
be read, so I guess this confirms it. I'll move the book into another
room and give a message when you see it.
