 ==Description==
 An item that autocurses itself will become cursed regardless of beatitude. The following items will autocurse themselves:
-* [[Loadstone]]s (appearance: gray stone)
+* [[Loadstone]]s ([[gray stone]])
 * [[Helm of opposite alignment|Helms of opposite alignment]] ([[randomized appearance]])
-* [[Dunce cap]]s (appearance: [[conical hat]])
+* [[Dunce cap]]s ([[conical hat]])
-The helm and the dunce cap will become cursed when [[wear|worn]] by a player, while the loadstone only becomes cursed when dropped - that is, picking up an uncursed loadstone is perfectly safe. However, since all loadstones are generated cursed (except possibly those in containers), they are still best left alone. If you are not playing as a [[Wizard]] and do not have a [[large]]-sized [[pet]](s) that you want to give [[magic cancellation]], you can safely ignore all conical hats - the only other hat that shares that appearance is the [[cornuthaum]], which is only of use to a Wizard or any player with such a pet.
+The helm and the dunce cap will become cursed when [[worn]] by a player, while the loadstone only becomes cursed when dropped - that is, picking up an uncursed loadstone is technically safe.
