The fastest way to not earn the respect of your fellow members is to be a pain in the butt when you post. Try to use proper spelling and punctuation, reasonable formatting (including breaking up huge blocks of text), and other conventions of the English language that make your posts easier to read. Before you post, reread what you've written to make sure it makes sense and is generally legible. If people have a hard time deciphering what you posted, they'll probably just give up.

That being said, you do have to use the items for them to be effective. For items that cast spells (such as the heal staff) go to the "item" menu and select the item. On the other hand, items which are effective against specific groups of monsters (such as the ice sword being effective against fire monsters), you merely have to attack with the weapon.

Oh sure, I don't have to get kicked in the junk to activate it, but I like it anyway. -- Thief commenting on the difference between Throw and Blue Magic.

Actually, the presumed effects of those weapons, i.e, Ice Sword effective against fire monsters, didn't work in the NES version. They were fixed in the later versions, however.

Ah I see. Sorry bout the abreviations though. just habit. Ya both the weapons are equiped and i just could not get them to work but I just tried selecting them from the Item menu during a battle and the Ice Sword did nothing but the heal staff worked. I just thought that their special effects would occur upon striking an enemy with the weapon. Thanks though.
