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.
