hmm... Does dooming go away after I take the ring off or does it linger? |

It goes away. Just like all wearable items that cause dooming. Si vis pacem, para bellum |

Does this mean that the Crown of Science is actually not that bad? I've always just sold it. |

It's useful if you are about to gain a level and need skill advances badly. You can also wear it if you're fine with constantly being doomed. The higher monster generation can be a boon as much as a curse. You drop the golden ball. You kick the golden ball. It slides to the west. Suddenly Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, appears! "That's not how you play Quidditch! are you even listening?" Which direction? (123456789) 4 Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is hit by a bolt of acid! Harry Potter, the apprentice wizard, is annihilated. You hear the ecstatic cries of a large crowd! |

The CoS is also useful for reading really valuable books. The dooming doesn't seem to affect anything in my experience, as far as the reading attempt goes, and the boost to the learning stat really helps a lot. If a character has a very low learning stat to begin with, or is just a class that has a lot of trouble learning spells, things may be different. The learning boost may not be enough to avoid a bad effect, from a failed book reading attempt. If you do happen to get a fireball or something, the dooming might turn out to be really bad. The only time I use the CoS these days, is for the rare times I actually get Khellevaster's teleport book. It's very nice to raise the TP effectivity, because of the lower cost of PP's per casting. In theory, donning the CoS before giving Bart the Golden Gladius, might help your 'tactics' skill to start at a much higher value. I have never done this before though, so I don't know how helpful that might be. In any case, potions of boost learning would be better for that, if available. Put me in the 'fool filter', where I belong! |
