Ring of wishes
A ring of wishes is a type of ring that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It is a ring with charges that has a default material of firmament, and appears as a black ring when unidentified - the ring also displays an amount of stars corresponding to the number of charges remaining if it is not fully identified.
The ring of wishes is the base item for the Star-Emperor's Ring.
Generation
Rings of wishes are not generated randomly.
A ring of wishes with 1d3 charges is always generated within a chest inside the Castle - if it only has one charge, then a candle of invocation will generate on the altar within the Valley of the Dead.
Description
While worn, invoking a ring a wishes that is not cursed will allow the hero to make a wish, using up a charge - if the ring is cursed or the hero has negative luck, it will silently fail without using up a charge. Additionally, if a hero wearing the ring is killed, life saving will occur and use up a charge. A ring of wishes without any charges has no effect.
A ring of wishes cannot be recharged or enchanted - it also cannot be cancelled, but its charges can be lost to effects that drain enchantment, such as the drain life spell or the engulfing attack of a lethe elemental.
