Here is a bizarre item I found - it maps and lights an entire level - but I can't read any scrolls because of the -3 light :/

There are some other nice aspects to it, and some other not so nice aspects...

Code:
l) the Arkenstone of Gelwilda <+3, +5, +2, -3> (charging) {cursed}
    Taken from a chest found at 2550 feet (level 51)
   
    It paralyses you every now and then.
    It poisons you from time to time.
    +3 wisdom.
    +5 searching skill.
    +2 infravision.
    -3 light.
    Provides immunity to Fire.
    Provides resistance to Nexus, Chaos.
    Cannot be harmed by Fire.
    Feather Falling.  Prevents teleportation. 
    Intensity -3 light.
   
    When activated, it lights and maps the entire level, sensing
    objects.
    Takes 107 to 210 turns to recharge at your current speed.
    Your chance of success is 94.7%

Interesting item - presumably you could use it if you somehow got >3 light from elsewhere ?

Yeah, I would definitely consider it.

The "Prevents teleportation" aspect is also a bit unnerving - I've never intentionally played that way. I like carrying a few !PD with me, they are disposable, but I could probably live without them at this stage.

That’s a swap item; you wear it to take the stairs, use it, then forget about it until you’re going down again. (With the option of swapping for fights against big fire breathers.)

Yet another item from the Touhou mod, this time more risky to use:

Code:
X Ribbon of C('i)adan [1,+6] (+4 to speed) {+SpCnChIf;*Co;InLv[T(Cn}                                                 
      Hard                                                                                                           
Score:174285        Item Attributes:                                                                                 
              It affects your constitution.                                                                         
Moon-Rabbit    It affects your charisma.                                                                             
Udonge        It affects your infravision.                                                                           
LEVEL    13  It affects your speed.                                                                                 
EXP      438  It sustains your constitution.                                                                         
AU      4704  It provides immunity to cold.                                                                         
| ~  "~(()))  It provides resistance to otherworldly horrors.                                                       
STR :    22  It allows you to levitate.                                                                             
INT :    15  It prevents teleportation.                                                                             
WIS :    13  It cannot be harmed by the elements.
Randart names can sometimes be weird in my translation, I'll be looking into that later; anyway, +4 CON/CHR/speed, an immunity, insanity resistance... and anti-teleportation. That was one of early game quest rewards, by the way.

What did this thing do to piss off the RNG so badly :confused:

Finding such a thing early on at least gets one some runes known when "selling" it.

Hey, it sustains dexterity! Totally worth it!

For me, fire immunity has fallen off of my priority list as a swap item. I tried to make use of this item but never could get enough +Light to offset the -Light effect. What I really liked was the map/light/detect aspect, but you need to wield damn thing in order to get any reuse out of it. In the end I Barandil was victorious using the phial.

This came in handy for some extra speed for my current warrior (4.2.4). The activation has a far better success rate and duration than a Rod of Speed too...

+8 speed.
+1 light.
Provides immunity to Acid.
Cannot be harmed by Acid.

When activated, it hastens you for d75+75 turns.
