 Only wizards can learn power words.
+<code>
+Power words are the most potent of all spells, transforming long periods of
+tedious memorization into a single, sublime burst of arcane majesty.  They can
+only be learned by the most dedicated spellcasters, but they have truly
+devastating effects. No saves are allowed against power words of any kind, nor
+is there a way to resist them.
+PREPARING
+A power word must be memorized before you will be able to use it.  This is done
+by casting the spell as normal.  This can be a long and tedious process in many
+cases.  When it reaches 100%, you will have memorized it.
+All power words you have memorized will show up in your statistics window.  You
+can't have more than one of any given power word memorized simultaneously. i.e.
+You may have a 'KILL' and a 'BLIND' memorized, but not two of 'BLIND'.
+USING
+Power words may only be used in combat, and some have additional restrictions
+outlined under their individual descriptions.  You use a memorized power word
+by typing, not saying, it.  e.x.:
+> limited invulnerability
+NOT
+> 'limited invulnerability'
+Using aliases is recommended for the longer ones.  Once you use the word in
+combat, your memory will be cleared of that word, and you will need to memorize
+it again.
