-Clairvoyance is similar to a limited form of [[magic mapping]]; however, clairvoyance ''will'' reveal the map surrounding you on levels that cannot be mapped by magic mapping, such as the [[Valley of the Dead]]. A common strategy is to obtain intrinsic clairvoyance from an aligned priest just prior to entering the Valley and [[Gehennom]] beneath it. Alternatively, you can save up money while in the [[Dungeons of Doom]] and donate it all for clairvoyance to the priest of [[Moloch]] in near the end of the Valley of the Dead; it is often possible to perform around 8-9 donations for clairvoyance, which will last long enough to help you map a significant proportion of Gehennom

 ==Gaining clairvoyance==
 ===Intrinsic===
-You can only ever get intrinsic clairvoyance temporarily, for a random length of between 500 and 999 turns, by donating between xplevel*200 and xplevel*400 to an [[aligned priest]] and it is at more than one-third of your visible gold. This action stacks and is an important strategy in speed running. By losing levels (see [[drain for gain]]) a character can get clairvoyance for only 200 gold by stashing all gold in a sack and removing 200 at a time and donating it. For 1000 gold you can get between 2500 and 5000 turns of clairvoyance which means you can get enough clairvoyance to last the rest of the game which makes exploring Gehennom much faster.

By losing levels to level 1 (see [[drain for gain]]), a character can cheaply get clairvoyance by dropping or stashing all their gold, taking 200 (or 400, but not 600) gold at a time into main inventory, and donating it 200 at a time. For 1000 gold, you can get between 2500 and 5000 (averaging about 3750) turns of clairvoyance, which may last for the rest of the game and will make exploring Gehennom much faster.

-'''Clairvoyance''' allows you to map an area of the dungeon around you, showing corridor walls and [[stairs]]. This is similar to [[magic mapping]], but somewhat limited. Where magic mapping reveals the whole level, if it can be mapped, clairvoyance will only reveal a 19×11 region around [[you]]. Like magic mapping, the map will remain unlit and will not reveal [[secret door]]s or [[trap]]s.

 Besides these sources of clairvoyance, there is also the [[potion of clairvoyance]]. A blessed potion will give you intrinsic clairvoyance for between 100 and 149 turns; an uncursed potion gives you a single application of clairvoyance.
