The ultimate goal of a game of NetHack is to find the Amulet of Yendor and offer it to your god to become immortal. The offering is done at the Astral Plane, topmost of the five elemental planes.
The amulet is possessed by the high priest of Moloch at the bottom of Gehennom. To reach it, however, the player needs several other items, known as the invocation artifacts. They are the Book of the Dead, Candelabrum of Invocation and the Bell of Opening.
While carrying the amulet, casting spells takes more power than usual. The penalty is between 1 and 2n power points, where n is the normal power cost of the spell cast. This means spell costs will be doubled on average, an may use up to three times as much power in the worst case.[1]
