Desirability
The hat of the High Council is a piece of headgear to be used carefully. Essentially giving you the Wild Magic mutation, characters who use little magic will have no use for it, as its defensive value is slightly worse than a normal +2 helmet even without the stealth penalty. Hybrid fighters and characters who rely heavily on spells should also be careful with it; casting a spell reliably is usually preferable to casting spells with high power.
The only characters for whom this hat is likely to be a good idea are those who have already trained the spells they intend to cast well past the point of reliability, and for them the additional spell power can be very welcome. Only late-game spellcasters who has stabilized several level-9 spells with high intelligence can be categorized to this.
History
