The god-o-meter is a tool in NetHack: The Next Generation, which also appears in SlashTHEM, which gives you hints about your prayer timeout. When unidentified, it appears as a highly-complicated electronic device[1].

Effects

When applied successfully, the god-o-meter will emit a black flash if your prayer timeout is nonzero (that is, it's not safe to pray), and an amber flash if it is zero (it is safe to pray). In wizard mode, there is a 10% chance that the device will also display the number of turns in your prayer timeout.

However, the device will only work if blessed. Otherwise, it will increase your prayer timeout by 0-99 turns if uncursed, or 0-199 if cursed.

Every time you use a god-o-meter, there is a 5% chance that it will explode, increasing your prayer timeout by 0-19 turns. This is not affected by BUC status.

If you are blind you will not be able to see the readout on the god-o-meter. Fortunately this will not affect your prayer timeout.[2]
