death from touching silver ring or wand

Browse Source 
From a reddit thread:  NAO's list of causes of death shows
|killed by handling a(n) ring of shock resistance
|killed by handling a(n) wand of fire
along with various other rings and wands and the poster wondered how
that could have killed characters.  Someone quickly figured out that
the heroes involved had lycanthropy and the items listed happened
to be silver in those games.

Avoid that sort of confusion in future by specifying "handling a
silver ring" or "handling a silver wand" instead of the specific
type of item when inflicting silver damage.  It still uses specific
item for other classes of objects where silver isn't shuffled among
potential items at start of game.
