Generation

In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, Flame Mages, Ice Mages and Necromancers may be given a ring of gain intelligence as the random ring in their starting inventory.[1][2][3] Wizards may be given a ring of gain intelligence as one of the two random rings in their starting inventory.[4]

In UnNetHack and DynaHack, Wizards may be given a ring of gain intelligence as one of the two random rings in their starting inventory.

Description

A hero putting on a ring of gain intelligence alters their intelligence by its enchantment while it is worn, and a ring that modifies the hero's intelligence (i.e., it is not +0) is auto-identified when put on or removed.[5][6] The ring can be charged to increase its enchantment. Monsters will not wear this ring.

A hero eating the ring has a 13 chance of successfully absorbing its magic and gaining a temporary bonus or penalty to intelligence based on the ring's enchantment[7][8]—this auto-identifies the ring if this bonus changes the hero's intelligence, and lasts until the hero changes forms or returns to normal.

Messages

The water flow seems <duller/quicker> now.
You dropped a ring of gain intelligence down a sink: "duller" is used for rings with an enchantment below +0, and "quicker" is used otherwise. These messages are shared with the ring of gain wisdom.
