'''Dig''' is a level 4 [[Transmutations]]/[[Earth Magic]] spell which digs a multi-tile tunnel through rock [[wall]]s, slimy walls, or [[iron grate]]s (but not through [[Wall#Stone|stone]] or anything harder). The amount of wall removed is dependent upon your [[spell power]]. It is useful for connecting disconnected parts of a floor (especially in the [[Orcish Mines]] or the [[Slime Pits]]), making new chokepoint tunnels, or accessing treasure [[vault]]s surrounded by transparent rock walls.
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
*Casting Dig when adjacent to your target will create a longer tunnel than casting it at a distance, as those empty spaces are counted toward its effect.
 
*Zapping a [[wand of digging]] produces an effect identical to casting the spell at maximum spell power. If you happen to find a few of them, you might not ever need to spend the spell levels learning this.
