The Nuclear Option

[clockfort]

Are you really sure you want to break your uranium wand? [yn] (n) 

This should cause a nuclear explosion rather than a normal one :-)

Should it deal additional damage, or just have different text?

I wad initially thinking damage++/radius++/different message, but maybe doing a radiation poisoning effect would be cool (treat as poison)

A good question came up: does a uranium wand still produce a nuclear explosion if the wand is already identified (and therefore isn't a uranium wand anymore)?

I'd say no. That way, the explosion is even harder to get.

I agree. While the base type of the item may still be uranium, it will not make any sense to the user, who simply wished to break their "wand of magic missile" in a last ditch effort to eradicate the inevitable onslaught of team ant, that this would somehow trigger a nuclear explosion.
