These are currently the treasures I have found and used
in HACK along with their uses:

WANDS
-----
Cold (Does massive damage, but it bounces, so be careful!)
In the situation below, if you shot a wand of cold,
or any wand that bounces, at the acid blob, it would
bounce and hit you!

###a##
####
#@#
Fire (Also bounces. Good for wasting shopkeepers)
Secret Door/Trap Detection (Good for searching whole rooms)
Light (Comes in handy as you near the 20th level or so)
Wishing (Allows you to wish for ANY object. I wished for
+5 platemail and a regeneration ring. In order
to get what you want, you must type the ENTIRE
name. Ex. RING OF REGENERATION or +5 PLATE MAIL)
Striking (Does minor damage. NEEDED to kill zuts)
Digging (Gets you out of a shop or into the Leprachaun's room)
- More -
Magic Missile (LONG range, bounces)
Polymorph (Turns monsters into other, usually harder, monsters)
Speed Monster (Allow the monster 2 attacks for your 1, a useless item)
Slow Monster (Reverse of the above. Good for monsters with multiple
attacks. Ex: Umber Hulks, Purple worms)
Teleport Monster (Get back, Jack!)
Death (Bounces. Kills anything it hits [Including YOU!])
Summon Monster (Useless unless you are a glutton for punishment)
Make Monster Invisible (He was there a second ago??)
Sleep (Bounces. Nighty Night!)

RINGS
-----
Regeneration (1 hp/move)
Teleport (Randomly teleports you every once in a while)
Teleport Control (Allows you pick where you want to be teleported by
the ring, scroll or trap)
Stealth (Lets you sneak past monsters most of the time)
Protection (I've found a +1, +2 and a +3 version. Also cursed sometimes)
Strength (I've found a +1, +2 and a +5 version)
Weakness (I've found -1 and -6 [gasp!])
Pro. from Shape Changers (Away foul MIMIC!)
Secret Door Detection (Finds them for you weather you like it or not!)

Fire (Dunno. Useless as far as I know)
Punishment (Gives you a ball and chain which hits you on the head when
you go down steps. Get rid of with REMOVE CURSE)
Enchant Armor (Gives +1 to your armor. If you try to get armor above
+5, it evaporates [as I found out with my +5 plate
mail--on the 20th lvl!])
Enchant Weapon (Adds +1 to weapon. No limit found as of yet. I've gotten
my sword up to +4)
