+The amulet of ESP is the most common amulet on average, making up 12% of all randomly-generated amulets.
 ==Description==
 While worn, an amulet of ESP grants extrinsic [[telepathy]], allowing you to see all non-[[mindless]] monsters within a radius of 8 squares around you; while [[blind]], you can also see all non-mindless monsters on the level. [[Eating jewelry|Eating the amulet]] has a {{frac|5}} chance of giving you intrinsic telepathy.
 ==Strategy==
 As one of two non-artifact sources of extrinsic telepathy, the amulet of ESP is one of the better amulets early on, and does not impact spellcasting like the [[helm of telepathy]], making it more ideal for casting-focused players. In the later game, it is often replaced by the [[amulet of reflection]] or [[amulet of life saving]]; several roles have [[quest artifact]]s that provide extrinsic telepathy and can render the amulet redundant.

+==Description==
 ==Strategy==
-Amulets of ESP are generally considered one of the best amulets, since having telepathy while non-blind is a very desirable ability.  The amulet is particularly useful to spellcasting characters, since the other non-artifact source of extrinsic telepathy - the [[helm of telepathy]] - carries a hefty penalty to spell success.  [[Wizard]]s, [[Ranger]]s, [[Archaeologist]]s, [[Knight]]s, and [[Tourist]]s will all eventually find the amulet superseded by their [[quest artifact]]s.

-ESP is an abbreviation for ''E''xtra''S''ensory ''P''erception; that is, perception not gained through the body's physical senses.  The term was coined by parapsychologist Joseph Banks Rhine in his 1934 book, ''Extrasensory Perception'', and encompasses a number of purported psychic abilities, including telepathy and [[clairvoyance]], among others.
