-Unchanging is typically used to maintain a long-term (and often [[Polymorph control|controlled]]) polyself for various purposes, in exchange for the risk of deaths that occur being permanent where they would not be otherwise. A source of unchanging can also be a good substitute for [[magic resistance]] in areas such as the [[Gnomish Mines]] beyond [[Minetown]], where [[polymorph trap]]s are a major obstacle; unchanging can also protect your steed from polymorph traps while [[riding]]. Unchanging can also suppress unwanted polymorphing from other sources, such as [[lycanthropy]].
