Summary

0008904: malign offering uses the generic weapon kill death message

Description

When being killed by a deep elf priest with malign offering, I get a death message of:

  Mangled by a deep elf priest
  ... wielding a +0 short sword
   (23 damage)

which means that kaux for this death is "a +0 short sword", which is wrong.

It looks like the malign offering implementation just unconditionally calls actor->hurt() for players and monsters, rather than using a specialized ouch() call for players, but I wasn't able to follow the beam code through enough to figure out how to get something more useful than a plain "killed from afar" message.
