A cornuthaum is a type of helm. It provides MC2, and gives special benefits for Wizards. Specifically, Wizards wearing a cornuthaum gain 1 point of charisma and the clairvoyance extrinsic, while non-Wizards lose 1 point of charisma, have all instances of clairvoyance blocked (whether by intrinsic or by spell), and can only safely enchant it to +5.
Cornuthaums are one of the best helmets for a wizard to use, since they can be safely enchanted up to +7, and the clairvoyance property is quite useful and can't be permanently gained via any other method besides the Amulet of Yendor itself.
Although a very powerful helm, cornuthaum is not worth wishing for by powerful wizards. If you can polymorph items, consider polypiling instead.
Identification
The cornuthaum and dunce cap are both conical hats. They can be distinguished by price or wearing (obviously dangerous), but are otherwise identical until identified.
