A magic whistle is a tool which appears as a whistle when unidentified. When you apply a non-cursed magic whistle, any pets on the level will be teleported next to you. This is immensely useful both for keeping pets with you without a tedious wait at every down staircase and for speeding up the process of stealing from shops with the aid of a pet.
A magic whistle can easily be distinguished from an ordinary tin whistle by the sound it makes.
A blessed eucalyptus leaf can also be used as a magic whistle when applied.
