The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla is an artifact that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. It is unaligned, and its base item is a mirror.
Generation
The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla is not randomly generated and cannot be wished for, though it can be left in bones.
The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla is generated on the lowest floor of the Neutral Quest at level creation, where it replaces The Silver Key for a Binder: the artifact is randomly placed within one of the temple complexes in R'lyeh.
Description
While carried, The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla grants polymorph control, teleport control, magic resistance, and automatic searching faster energy regeneration, and invoking The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla or applying it while its invocation timer is ready will deal 15d15 damage to a monster that sees its reflection in the mirror, including the hero themselves. If applied while the invocation timer is not read, it behaves as a normal mirror.
Carrying the Hand-Mirror of Cthylla in open inventory bypasses the restriction on level teleporting within Quest branches that limits the character to one level above or below their current level.
The Hand-Mirror of Cthylla can be used in place of the Bell of Opening to perform the invocation by wielding it while reading the Book of the Dead, and so it is made indestructible and cannot be placed in a container.
