In fact there are two ways of storing objects, type one is the obj file format which defines the object prototype. This prototype is the object you will first load, create or whatever. Now then on those objects you can cast spells and such and those adjusts make the object "changed". These changes are kept in the player-object files ( or any object saving code, should have those caracteristics saved). p.e. In the mud code it is objsave.c that saves the player's objects (look in the function obj_to_file or something like that if you want accurate description). Any changes by spells or whatever on the object are then saved accordingly... Now if you are a god and you wish to stat such an item you best get to know the how manyeth obj of that type it is. (just use where dagger) Then type stat 5.dagger if your dagger was on fifth place. Anyways I hope this helps...
