		+	'''Mother, who beheld beauty''', also known as the '''Great Mother''' is a [[Spirits (dNetHack)\|spirit]] that appears in [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]] and [[notnotdNetHack]].
		+
		+	==Ritual, seal and taboo==
		+	The Great Mother's binding ritual must be performed with the hero addressing the seal while [[blind]].
		+
		+	To remain bound to Mother, the hero must not [[genocide]] any [[monster]]s.
		+
		+	==Mark==
		+	A hero that has Mother bound develops eyes on their hands that can be seen from a distance. These eyes can be covered with [[worn]] [[gloves]] or a [[mummy wrapping]].
		+
		+	==Benefits==
		+	While Mother is bound, the hero has [[magic resistance]] and [[clairvoyance]], and gains [[skill]] in [[divination spells]].
		+
		+	Mother's active powers are as follows:
		+
		+	*'''Disgusted Gaze''': A hero that is not wearing a mummy wrapping or any gloves other than [[crystal gauntlets]] can select a monster to target, who will be struck by [[lightning]] for 5 dice of shock damage with a size equal to that of the hero's spirit die. This will cause the hero to drop their currently [[wielded]] weapon, as well as their offhand weapon if they are performing [[two-weapon combat]], and will grant them an extra move—additionally, a nearby target has a chance of being [[paralyzed]].
		+
		+	Mother's passive powers are as follows:
		+
		+	*'''Evaluate''': Gives an indication of the HP of living creatures.
		+
		+	==As a monster==

		+	In notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack, the '''Great Mother''', {{magenta\|e}}, also appears as a monster that can be summoned by an [[Illithanachronounbinder]]. The Great Mother is an [[Eye or sphere\|eye creature]] that lacks a head and is [[unbreathing]] and [[amphibious]]—it has normal vision and [[infravision]], can [[see invisible]] can be seen via infravision, and will seek out [[gold]], [[gems]] and [[Collect items\|other items]] to pick up. Like many summoned spirits, the Great Mother cannot be [[tamed]].
		+
		+	The Great Mother has five attacks: a targeted [[gaze attack]] that inflicts paralysis, a second targeted gaze that inflicts shock damage, a [[claw attack]] that does [[physical damage]], a [[kick attack]] that can [[stun]] targets, and the ability to cast one [[dNetHack monster spells\|random monster spell]] during each of her turns. The Great Mother possesses [[sleep resistance]], [[poison resistance]] and [[stoning resistance]].
		+
		+	===Generation===
		+	The Great Mother is first generated when summoned from its seal by an Illithanachronounbinder. It is always created hostile, and is not a valid polymorph form or genocide target.<!--copypaste from Maegera
		+
		+	Maegera is [[always generated with]] ([[Level difficulty\|LD]])d5 gold pieces and the uncursed Ruinous Strike, an [[artifact]] named for one of its spirit's powers: Ruinous Strike is a golden [[pick-axe]] that grants fire resistance while wielded, has +1 [[to-hit]] and double damage bonuses against monsters without fire resistance, and can be [[invoked]] to create a plume of [[stinking cloud]]s centered at the chosen location (as with the spirit power).-->
		+
		+	The Great Mother [[Corpseless\|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	===Strategy===

		+	Role spoiler\|
		+	If the Great Mother is killed after being summoned, it can be encountered again in the [[Void]], a branch accessed by opening the high [[altar]] of [[Ilsensine the Fallen]] as an Illithanachronounbinder using the [[invoke]] effect of [[The Elder Cerebral Fluid]]. The Great Mother is generated along with many other spirits of the near void on the second floor of the branch, and is generated with the "whispers" template, which makes it [[nonliving]].

		+
		+	==Encyclopedia entry==
		+	{{encyclopedia\|
		+	I rolled my wheelchair over to the bookcase and pulled down the battered medical encyclopedia that I'd had for years. The book was maddeningly vague. It could have been anything, or nothing. I leaned back and closed my eyes. I could hear the old ship's clock ticking on the shelf across the room.
		+
		+	There was the high, thin drone of a jet on its way to Miami. There was the soft whisper of my own breath.
		+
		+	I was still looking at the book.
		+
		+	The realization crept on me, then sank home with a frightening rush. My eyes were closed, but I was still looking at the book. What I was seeing was smeary and monstrous, the distorted, fourth-dimensional counterpart of a book, yet unmistakable for all that.
		+
		+	And I was not the only one watching.
