Generation

Itlachiayaque cannot be wished for, though it can be left behind as part of a bones level.

For Archeologists, Itlachiayaque is always generated on the goal level of the Archeologist quest, and is placed on the altar to Huhetotl where the Minion of Huhetotl stands at level creation.

Description

Itlachiayaque grants magic resistance, telepathy and half spell damage while carried, and grants fire resistance and dragonbreath reflection while worn. Invoking Itlachiayaque allows the character to create a mass of poison clouds similar to the read scroll of stinking cloud.

Encyclopedia entry

Tezcatlipoca (Fiery Mirror) was undoubtedly the Jupiter of the
Nahua pantheon. He carried a mirror or shield [ Itlachiayaque ],
from which he took his name, and in which he was supposed to see
reflected the actions and deeds of mankind. The evolution of this
god from the status of a spirit of wind or air to that of the
supreme deity of the Aztec people presents many points of deep
interest to students of mythology.
