The SLEEP command puts you to sleep, allowing you to regain your health more
quickly.  You will be largely unaware of your surroundings while asleep.
You can awaken yourself with the WAKE command.

The SLEEP spell forces the victim into a magical sleep such that they 
Cannot be awakened until the spell wears off.

Usage       : cast 'sleep' <victim>
Accumulative: Yes (Duration)
Duration    : 4 hours + level/4
Level       : Mage level 8.

If failing saving throw versus spell, the person will fall asleep.
A person who is affected by sleep can only be awakened if attacked.

Usage: sneak

Used for sneaking (moving in and out of rooms without anyone taking notice).

See also: HIDE, STEALTH, THIEF, ASSASSIN
```

<a id="help-commands-track"></a>
## TRACK

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

Usage: track <victim>

Used for finding the first step on the shortest route to another person. A 
Failed attempt results in the wrong direction.  Some people are more 
difficult to track than others. Tracking also doesn't work very well when
it is raining outside, or if there is a body of water separating you from
your target.

Example:

  > track warg
  You sense a trail south from here!

See also: EVASION
```

<a id="help-commands-turn"></a>
## TURN

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

With this power, a cleric or avatar can cause undead forces in the same
room to flee from his presence.  This power varies with level, and low
level clerics may not be able to turn away certain powerful (ie: demonic)
undead forces.  On the upside, very powerful clerics and avatars are able
to completely destroy lesser undead.

Please note that this is a SKILL, not a SPELL, although it does consume
MANA.  The amount of mana consumed is proportional to the clerics level.

```

<a id="help-commands-visible"></a>
## VISIBLE

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

Usage: visible

Use this command to break your spell of invisibility before it expires, or
to stop sneaking.

See also: INVISIBILITY, SNEAK, STEALTH
```

<a id="help-commands-wake-sleeping-rest-sit-stand"></a>
## WAKE SLEEPING REST SIT STAND

**Verbatim in-game help.**

```

Commands for changing your position.  If you feel weary, it's probably 
a good idea to sit and rest for a while, or maybe even take a nap.

The SLEEP command puts you to sleep, allowing you to regain your health 
More quickly.  You will be largely unaware of your surroundings while 
asleep. You can awaken yourself (and others) with the WAKE command.

Also, certain rooms such as holy rooms and places of ancient power allow
you to heal and regenerate faster.
