There ''are'' other sources of the property in at least one variant (thanks Chris for the info), and [[User:Infinigon\|Infinigon]] also mentioned reorganizing the contents of the property's article for readability at some point on its [[Talk:Polymorph control\|talk page]], but evidently never got around to it - so I plan to pick up that slack as well, but I want to at least see where consensus is on moving some of this stuff back here, rather than go doing it willy nilly. --[[User:Umbire the Phantom\|Umbire the Phantom]] ([[User talk:Umbire the Phantom\|talk]]) 20:07, 26 May 2023 (UTC)	+	The entirety of polymorph control strategy was apparently relegated to the property page, which seems inconvenient for readers to me - I feel like if anything, a more ideal change might be to focus the strategy info on the ring page, since that's how a majority of people playing NetHack and its variants will encounter a source of the property.
