Mutations are permanent effects that raise/lower your stats and other attributes. These are not to be confused with Ether Disease or the Mutant class. Unlike Ether Disease, Mutations are purely positive or purely negative, and can be stacked to provide higher bonuses or penalties. Mutations cannot be cured with a potion of cure corruption. They can be removed with potions of cure mutation, which will remove random mutations, both positive and negative. Your character's mutations can be viewed on the Feats screen. When you obtain a mutation, a message will appear in the messages window. Positive mutations will always have a green message, negative mutations will be in red.
How to Mutate[]
Mutations can be obtained in several different ways, including:
- quaffing water out of a fountain or well.
- quaffing a potion of evolution (always beneficial) or potion of mutation (random).
- Wishing for "evolution" will give you several potions of evolution.
- Wishing for "mutation" will give you several potions of mutation.
- The "monster" dream may cause you to mutate.
- The "Deformed Eye" monster has an attack that can mutate you.
- The "Chaos Eye" monster has an attack that can mutate you.
- Using the "Mutation" spell.
