Nenya is an artifact that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is unaligned and elf-favoring, and its base item is a ring with the randomized appearance of a "diamond ring". If the sapphire ring is a ring of polymorph in the current game, then Nenya will appear as a silver ring instead.
Description
While worn, Nenya has the usual effects conferred by the ring whose appearance it matches, and additionally confers water walking, monster detection as the blessed potion or Skilled spell, and protects the wearer's inventory from water damage. Each attack made in melee or with a thrown/fired weapon while wearing Nenya adds +1d20 silver damage.
Wearing Nenya also massively lowers the failure rate of divination spells, guaranteeing the ability to cast any healing spell at 0% fail rate for almost any character: this does not supersede the inability to cast spells for other reasons, e.g. the influence of the Spire, lacking free hands, or any other effects that block all spellcasting.
In addition, wearing Nenya also applies a wisdom-based modifier to energy regeneration, as well as to the wearer's AC while not flat-footed, i.e. while not paralyzed or else occupied. The modifier will not cause negative energy regeneration for the player character, and instead worsens existing regeneration to a minimum of 0 unless it was already negative.
