 '''The Iron Ball of Liberation''' is the [[Convict]] [[quest artifact]] in [[UnNetHack]], [[DynaHack]], [[SpliceHack]] and [[SlashTHEM]]. It is the prize for completing the [[Convict quest]], and is [[neutral]] for [[wish]]ing purposes. Its [[base item]] type is a [[heavy iron ball]] that is hard-coded to weigh 300 [[aum]].
 ==Description==
-While carried, the Iron Ball of Liberation confers [[warning]], [[displacement]], [[magic resistance]], and [[automatic searching]]. When [[invoke]]d, the Iron Ball [[Punishment|chains itself to you]] and confers temporary [[phasing]]. A Convict touching the Ball will [[erosion|erodeproof]] it and set its weight back to 300.

 Like all other iron balls, a [[scroll of punishment]] may increase the Iron Ball of Liberation's weight.

-This unique artifact power essentially gives the player the ability to [[phase]] as if s/he were [[polymorph|polymorphed]] into a [[xorn]], [[earth elemental]], [[ghost]], or [[shade]]. The player and all equipment may pass through otherwise solid material. Of course, water, lava, traps, etc. are still dangerous.
