Numina, The Whispering Multitude is a spirit that appears in dNetHack and notdNetHack. It is implied to be the source of the whispering around the strange corpse in the Binder quest that reveals the identity of the corpse and tells a Binder of Acererak once they qualify for their quest.
Ritual, seal and taboo
The Numina can only be bound by a Binder that reaches experience level 30: The first time a Binder reaches this level, they silently learn the Numina's seal.
The Numina will be unbound if a Binder that has them bound ever loses an experience level.
Mark
A Binder that has Numina bound is surrounded by whispers that can only be heard up close - there is no way to disguise them.
Benefits
While bound, the Numina grant immunity to stun and confusion - they also grant access to all spell and weapon skills, but do not unrestrict or grant a bonus to any skill.
The Numina's active powers are as follows:
- Identify: Identifies inventory.
- Clairvoyance: Map the local area.
- Find the Path: Detect nearby magic portals.
- Gnostic Premonition: Allows use of Gnostic Premonition despite having spirits bound (Bind any spirit of your choice for 5 turns). Cooldown is 25 turns instead of 125.
The Numina's passive powers are as follows:
- Whispersense: Intrinsic monster detection
