Some [[tool]]s in this game are very rare. Some players may confuse the unidentified '''fire horn''' with another musical [[horn]] (such as the much more common [[tooled horn]]). Upon application, the game prompts the player for a direction; the fire horn then acts like a [[wand of fire]], sending a beam in the desired direction, and is identified.
 
 
 
The fire horn is mostly identical to a wand of fire, except that it cannot be used for burn-[[engrave|engraving]], can be recharged an unlimited number of times (up to a maximum of 20 charges at once), and deals 6 to 66 damage rather than 6 to 36 (depending on the circumstance).
 
 
 
An uncharged fire horn behaves as a [[tooled horn]].
 
 
 
==Generation==
 
 
 
Fire horns can be found anywhere a random tool can be generated, and they will be generated with 4 to 8 charges.
 
 
 
==Strategy==
 
 
 
You should identify an unknown horn as soon as possible - a fire horn is a good attack weapon but you don't want to discover that an unidentified horn is actually a [[horn of plenty]] when a horde of monsters has you pinned down at the end of a corridor. One [[YASD]] is to let the beam bounce from a [[wall]] and kill you - [[DYWYPI]]?
 
 
 
Answering no to the "Improvise?" prompt lets you use the horn as a musical instrument without using up any charges.
 
 
 
Players who want to wish for an [[instrument]] can ask for a "blessed fire horn"
