The Magic Mirror of Merlin is the knight quest artifact. It is lawful for wishing purposes. Its base item type is a mirror.
When carried, the Magic Mirror of Merlin confers magic resistance and telepathy. In addition, knights do double damage to their enemies when turning undead in any way or using a selection of spells. For this reason, some players recommend making knights spellcasters; magic missile does enormous damage (average of 112) when cast by level thirty knight with the Magic Mirror.[1]
When applied or wielded, the Mirror speaks to you, like The Master Key of Thievery — it gives a random rumor, true if the Mirror is blessed, false if cursed and either if uncursed.

This powerful mirror was created by Merlin, the druid, in ages past, when trees sang and rocks danced. It protects all who carry it from magic missiles, and gives them ESP.
