Subject: Don't describe sleep explosion as a "ray"
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=66e98e1344b9c1a8f4999864fd780cf92dab0ae7;p=nethack

Don't describe sleep explosion as a "ray"

When breaking a wand of sleep, don't print the message "the sleep ray
hits you!" since it produces an area effect/explosion rather than a ray.
For a couple other wands, !ordinary (wand breakage) effects don't
produce a message (I assume because the do_break_wand feedback is
considered sufficient), but I put in an alternative message for the
explosion since I think it's important to inform the player the hero has
fallen asleep.
