A magical item or magical object is an item which when polymorphed, has a tendency to become another magical item of the same type. Junk magical items can therefore be polypiled to produce other magical items.

Unicorn horns are a special case in NetHack 3.6.0: they are magical items by default and most horns you find can be polypiled into other magical tools. However, unicorn horns that are "regrown"—dropped by a unicorn that has been revived at least once—are treated as non-magical items and will only polymorph into non-magical tools.
Magical stones
Only the following stones are considered magical:
Other items
All potions are magical except:
- potion of acid
- potion of booze
- potion of fruit juice
- potion of oil
- potion of sickness
- potion of water
All scrolls, spellbooks, wands, rings, and amulets are magical except for the following:
- scroll of blank paper
- scroll of mail
- blank spellbook
- wand of nothing
- meat stick
- meat ring
- cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor
Note that no weapon, food, boulder, statue, or gold is magical. Historic is a different attribute for statues.
The Amulet of Yendor and invocation items are magic, but cannot be polymorphed anyway.
The listed potions, blank items, and the wand of nothing have a large chance of polymorphing into magical objects; see polypiling for details.
