Dagger of Sounding (Magic Dagger)

This oddly designed dagger is +1 for attack and damage, but it has a peculiar, hollow bronze bulb at the tip of the pommel. If the tip is gently tapped against a hollow surface, it gives a resounding ring, quite different from the dull tone emitted if struck against solid stone. Tapping it gently against walls allows a thief a 5 in 6 chance to find a secret door, rising to 11 in 12 if the thief is elven or half elven. Also, the thief can search for secret doors at twice the normal rate when using this dagger. In other cases, the thief is 80% likely to be able to determine successfully the approximate thickness and nature of the material the dagger is used to sound.
