A magic lamp provides light and never runs out of power, making it a useful tool to take into Gehennom and other dark places.
Each time you rub the lamp, there is a 1/3 chance that "You see a puff of smoke" and another 1/3 chance that "Nothing happens"; in either case, just try again.
The remaining 1/3 of the time a djinni appears, the lamp is identified and turned into an oil lamp, and one of five outcomes can occur. The relative chance of these outcomes depends on whether the lamp was blessed, uncursed, or cursed:
| Blessed | Uncursed | Cursed | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80% | 20% | 5% | Grants one wish, then disappears. "I am in your debt. I will grant one wish!" |
| 5% | 20% | 5% | Remains as a pet. "Thank you for freeing me!" |
| 5% | 20% | 5% | Remains as a peaceful monster. "You freed me!" |
| 5% | 20% | 5% | Speaks, then vanishes. "It is about time!" |
| 5% | 20% | 80% | Remains as a hostile monster. "You disturbed me, fool!" |
Note: There is no way to get a wish from the djinni other than the first outcome above.
There is a limit of 120 djinn per game. Beyond this limit, they are extinct and no more can be created. This includes djinni summoned from smoky potions and any placed on the Plane of Air.
If you wish for a magic lamp, you will instead get an ordinary oil lamp.
Strategy
An early magic lamp stands a high chance of being wasted if you rub it without knowing its BUC status. Always bless it before rubbing.
Some players prefer having an inexhaustible light source to an extra wish. This very much depends on the circumstances of your character.
