A mysterious force momentarily surrounds you...

The much-maligned mysterious force is a random level teleportation effect that occurs one quarter of the time[1] when trying to climb stairs in Gehennom with the Amulet of Yendor. Lawful characters are dumped up to three levels below their current location; for neutral players it is up to two and for chaotic it is up to one. (This includes occasionally being teleported around the level, a kind of "zero level drop".) These effects are summarized in the table below.

Level change Lawful Neutral Chaotic
+1 75.0% 75.0% 75.0%
0 6.25% 8.33% 12.5%
-1 6.25% 8.33% 12.5%
-2 6.25% 8.33% 0
-3 6.25% 0 0


A mysterious force is also cited as the reason that one cannot teleport on a no-teleport level, or descend the staircase on the quest home level without first getting permission from your quest leader [2].
