On use, the {{name}} will create a staircase going 20 strata deep. This is, however, a one time use and will consume the item.  This is the only way to create {{favilink|Stairs down}} or {{favilink|Stairs up}} in the base game.
On use, the {{name}} will create a staircase going 20 strata deep. This is, however, a one time use and will consume the item.  This is normally the only way to create {{favilink|Stairs down}} or {{favilink|Stairs up}} (however, see {{F|Burrowing Claws}}).


Areas that were not generated prior to a {{name}} digging through them will treat the new stairs as a guideline for room and cave generation.  For this reason, the new stairs will typically connect to the rest of the caves without the need for other digging tools.
