Intelligence is one of the six basic attributes of the player; it is useful for reading spellbooks, for spellcasting (unless you are a Healer, Knight, Monk, Priest or Valkyrie, in which case it is Wisdom that affects your chances of successfully casting a spell) and for encounters with foocubi. A monster called the mind flayer can drain your intelligence; if your intelligence falls below 3, you die.

Intelligence cannot be exercised but can be increased by drinking a blessed potion of enlightenment or eating a mind flayer corpse, as well as by a potion of gain ability.
