The Eyes of the Oracle are a pair of artifacts that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. Their default alignment is neutral, and their base items are a pair of disembodied human eyeballs.
Generation
The Eyes of the Oracle cannot be randomly generated or wished for, and will always revert to its base item if left in bones—it is also one of a small handful of artifacts that can be generated in multiples.
The clairvoyant changed, which can only be found in the Android quest, will always leave behind the uncursed Eyes of the Oracle along with her corpse and two stacks of human eyeballs: unlike other artifacts, they will not appear as named human eyeballs when generated this way, but can be distinguished from the other eyeballs due to not stacking with any of them.
Description
While carried, The Eye of the Oracle grants magic resistance and half spell damage—its effects are not stacked if the carrier has both of the artifacts in their inventory.
Invoking The Eye of the Oracle allows the hero to scry for items as with a crystal ball, provided that they succeed a roll against their intelligence that depends on the artifact's beatitude: the check is d16 if the artifact is blessed and d20 if the artifact is uncursed, and the scrying attempt always fails if the artifact is cursed.
