-Some intrinsics come with downsides. Regeneration and conflict permanently increase your hunger rate in addition to their useful properties; hunger, of course, simply does so with no benefit. These effects are cumulative. Hunger from eating rings of regeneration or conflict is part of the regeneration or conflict effect itself, and thus it cannot be separately removed by a [[gremlin]]. Polymorphitis is not a desirable property even for characters with polymorph control: each polymorph still has a 20% chance of polymorphing you into your own race, in which case random stat shuffling can occur.
+Some intrinsics come with downsides. Regeneration and conflict permanently increase your hunger rate in addition to their useful properties; both of these hunger rate increases stack cumulatively with the hunger property itself. Polymorphitis is not a desirable property even for characters with polymorph control: each polymorph still has a 20% chance of polymorphing you into your own race, in which case random stat shuffling can occur.
 You will usually need to eat many rings or amulets to get any given intrinsic. If you are limited in ways to polymorph yourself it's important to have duplicates readily available, so you can eat them all before you revert to your normal form.

 ===Edible rings===
 The material of a ring is dependent upon its [[randomized appearance]], not its function. Not all ring materials are edible, so the set of rings that can be eaten varies from game to game.
