-The Priest's quest sees them fighting [[Legion]] for [[The Mitre of Holiness]], an artifact [[helm of brilliance]]. The Mitre of Holiness grants [[fire resistance]] while carried and can be enchanted to +7 - while worn, it grants [[drain resistance]], [[Warned of monster type|warning of undead]], allows [[prayer]] in [[Gehennom]] (including the ability to [[turn undead]]), and grants +1d5 [[to-hit]] and double damage against holy-hating monsters while performing a headbutt attack. For Priests, wearing The Mitre of Holiness also grants an additional reduction of [[spellcasting]] failure rates, the same as a robe. [[Invoking]] The Mitre of Holiness restores the hero's energy by an amount equal to half of the difference between their maximum power and current power: if this amount is less than {{frac|10}} of their maximum, then it will restore up to 400 energy.
