+# Script to give experience to a player.
+#
+# Copyright 2007 Nicolas Weeger
+# Released as GPL
+#
+# This script will give experience to the "activating" player.
+# It should be linked through the "trigger" event of an altar, or similar thing.
+# Options are specified in the event object's fields.
+# A key/value will be used to store in the player if she activated the item already.
+#
+# Available options are:
+# - exp: experience to gain
+# - skill: skill to add experience to. Can be empty, in which case exp is given to the general exp only
+# - wc: what to do when the player doesn't know the skill:
+#   - 0: give the player the skill
+#   - 1: give player exp to total, no skill
+#   - 2: player gets nothing
+# - race: if set, the player can only use once this item.
