Wearing a ring of polymorph gives you polymorphitis, which has a 1% chance of polymorphing you each turn. This ring is most of the time generated cursed, due to the fact that uncontrolled polymorphitis is really a pain. You can get system shock due to the ring.

If you have polymorph control, you may choose the form into which you polymorph. If you are inflicted with lycanthropy, the ring of polymorph will occasionally trigger a change into were or normal form.

Note that if you are wearing an amulet of unchanging the ring of polymorph will have no effect (besides the usual ring hunger).

If you find a ring and test its price and BUC status, the chance of a ring of polymorph is given in the following table. You can rule out telecontrol by walking on a teletrap and conflict by wearing it in sight of monsters.

Testing done Any BUC Non-cursed Uncursed Cursed Blessed
Any price 3.45% 0.50% 0.52% 10.14% 0%
$300 25.0% 3.6% 3.6% 75.0% --
$300, not telecontrol nor conflict 50.0% 10.0% 10.0% 90.0% --
