with this change, you now have toi choose to "attack" or "discharge" and with this change is now the ability to target a single monster for regular damage, or target "all hostiles in the room" for less damage.

weapons have been retouched mainly for the dwarven bonus damage effects and alot of the weights, costs and such have been rebalanced as well to be more consistent.
