  Youch.  I was happy when I had my Taifu up to +20..... :)
Of course, it has an absurd damage, and an absurd speed, and
absurd bonuses!  (Everything up to 30 on Ragnarok at UCB, all
legit)  The improve weapon stuff needs to be hamstrung.
Who will do this?

  Was this WITH or WITHOUT your absurdly powerful weapon?

  Hmmm.  This is unfortunate.  yes, they SHOULD have the friendly flags
set, and perhaps those durned bullet walls should be more expensive
to create.  You wanna do this, karim?  The appropriate code is in 
newspells.c under 'create_the_feature' or something.
