Keywords are:  'composition materials substances'


Objects in the world are composed of different classes of material. The
most prevelent material is the object's composition. You can see the
composition of an item by using the 'identify' command on it.

Compositions are grouped into broad catergories, which are displayed in
front of the specific composition. These are:

DRY (ORGANIC)
WET (ORGANIC)
TEXTILE
FLESH
SKELETON
PLANT
TIMBER
NON-SOLID
BASE METAL
METAL ALLOY
GLASS
EARTH
MINERAL

For instance, an oak barrel would be composed of TIMBER, OAK, with TIMBER
being the composition group and OAK being the specific composition.

Objects can be listed by composition, using the '-composition' switch.
For example, if you want to see all the objects made from skin or leather
in your backpack, you would type 'look in backpack -composition skin'.
This is especially usefull for crafting and rune-carving, where materials
of a particular composition are needed.
