jewel-eyed wizard hat
jewel-eyed wizard hat

This is a pointy hat with stars and moons embroidered on it, and 'WIZZARD' spelled out in sequins. That way, people will know you're a wizard when you wear it. Because wizards can spell, but they can't spell. Ba-dum-bum-pssht.

It's also got a big jewel on it in the shape of an eye. And you know how big of a deal mystical third eyes are supposed to be. Or maybe you don't, because you haven't spent enough time hanging out with New Age weirdos.

Now all you need is a wizard robe, and you'll be ready to cast Lvl. 3 Eroticism.

Notes

Does various wizardy-type things. Also has the tallest item description popup of anything in the game. Cannot be equipped in Hardcore.
  • The "+5 Duration to Buffs You Cast" effect only applies to skills that can be cast from the buff drop down menu, not to skills that can only be cast on oneself.
  • The hat restores (level/2 + 2) ± 1 MP every turn, including turns not spent adventuring (eg Cooking, or at the Clan Gym).
  • If you view the source of the item description page, you can see an HTML comment after "Ba-dum-bum-pssht" which reads "Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff." This was quoted by Xenophobe on the February 16, 2006 radio show as the "world's best joke."

References

  • The item description references the Discworld series, in which the one of the main characters, Rincewind, has a hat with the word "WIZZARD" emblazoned upon it in sequins.
  • The item description references the concept of the third eye which is part of certain types of New Age mysticism.
  • "Lvl. 3 Eroticism" and the wizard robe refer to the online antics of BloodNinja mocking people seeking cybersex. The most infamous example can be found on bash.org.
  • The spell "Magic Missile" is a reference to the D&D spell Magic Missile, which is a basic attack spell that almost all beginning wizards and sorcerers learn.
  • The item name is a pun on July, in which this was Item of the Month. (July, jewel-eye, get it?)
  • If you aquire Temporary Blindness, firing Magic Missles at The Darkness will cause (at least the first time you do it anyway) an elf with blue...no gray eyes to come out and give you a Mountain Stream soda: a referance to the Dead Ale Wives Watchtower comedy track made by Dr. Demento.
