The Mitre of Holiness is the Priest quest artifact. It is the prize for completing the Priest quest, and is lawful for wishing purposes. Its base item type is a helm of brilliance.
Effects
When carried, the Mitre of Holiness confers fire resistance. When worn, it also provides the normal effects of a helm of brilliance, as well as extrinsic protection - augmenting your magic cancellation as a ring of protection, but not cumulative with one. If the wearer is a Priest, they also take half physical damage from all undead monsters and major demons - this property does not stack with other half physical damage sources.[1] When invoked, you get an energy boost equal to half of the difference between your maximum power and your current power, with a cap of 120; if it would have given you less than 12 energy, it fully refills your energy instead.[2]
The Mitre of Holiness is defined by the game as doing double damage to undead, and thus cannot be used by a player polymorphed into an undead creature. It does not do double damage to undead when used as a weapon in practice, however, due to the game not checking for artifact damage bonuses when fighting with objects that aren't valid weapons.
