Effects

An amulet of unchanging prevents you from changing your current form by polymorph or other means, and also protects you from being slimed; any sliming in progress is halted. It does not prevent you turning to stone.

When eaten, you are "un-changed" to your natural form.

If you die while polymorphed and wearing an amulet of unchanging, you will not revert to your previous form, and will instead die.

Generation

Amulets comprise 1% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 1% in containers, and 4% in hell. There is a 4.5% chance that a randomly-generated amulet will be an amulet of unchanging, making it the least generated amulet.

Identification

This amulet is tricky to identify; most situations where you would change form are dangerous.

Strategy

If discovered early, this can be a good substitute for magic resistance in the early game, where polymorph traps are a big threat.
