The dunce cap, when worn, fixes your intelligence to 6, and autocurses. It blocks the mind flayer's brain eating attack, but not its amnesia attack. Removing the cap will restore your intelligence to its original value.

Identification

The dunce cap and the cornuthaum are both conical hats. They can be distinguished by price, but are otherwise identical until identified.

Strategy

The dunce cap is not a good piece of armor, but if your Int happens to be lower than 6, the dunce cap will be an improvement! If your brain is in danger of being eaten by a mind flayer, donning a dunce cap may actually be a good idea.
