Line 416:
** [[Olympus Mons]]: Figurines, the spell of charm monster and the scroll of taming make this possible. A high-ranking angelic being and an uber-powerful undead mage can both be your pets, despite possibly being powerful enough to destroy your character several times over. With a bit of work, even {{spoiler|two of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse}} can be brought under your control.
* [[Pinball Projectile]]: Rays from spells and wands can be bounced off walls to hit tricky targets. They might also bounce back at ''you''.
* [[Plot Coupon That Does Something]]: The items used for the invocation can also be used for other purposes, and can even be a handy substitute for other parts of a kit. {{spoiler|For example, the Bell of Opening works as an area-of-effect wand of opening, which you can use to enter the Castle, and can double as a silver weapon to hit the shades in Orcus Town with. The Candelabrum of Invocation can be used as an alternative light source, though this is usually reserved for Astral Plane jumping. And finally, the Book of the Dead [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|can raise the dead]], and chaotic Priests can use this with [[Turn Undead]] to obtain a horde of tamed monsters.}}
* [[Portal Door]]: You're guaranteed to encounter at least a few of them, including the one leading to your quest. {{spoiler|Another is necessary to reach the Wizard of Yendor, and the Elemental Planes past the Plane of Earth can only be reached via a portal you have to find in each one.}}
* [[Press Start to Game Over]]: If you're very unlucky with the [[Randomly Generated Levels]], or else going out of your way, it's possible to die on your first turn, and there's even a special [[Have a Nice Death]] message for it; ais523 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9oMSPzChgk proved] that this is indeed possible before you even have control of your character. {{spoiler|Grayswandir was generated on the upstairs; the neutral-aligned player character picked it up due to autopickup, and the lawful artifact blasted them to death.}} He did some calculations and estimated a 1 in 3 million chance (roughly) of this occurring.
