Desirability

With archmagi and +5 intelligence, the robe of Folly[1] is a tempting piece of armour for any character looking to squeeze out a little more spellpower, but only if they can make up for the very dangerous willpower penalty. An unlucky encounter with an opponent capable of banishing or paralysing you can very easily get you killed, and even confusion can be devastating. Only consider wearing this all the time if you've had very good luck finding artefacts which counter the willpower loss, and even then you'd be much safer with a more mundane +2 robe of the Archmagi and an amazing will score. Even with the recursing, however, it's entirely possible to wear it before taking on a particularly nasty opponent that lacks any will-checking abilities, then remove it before it gets the chance to betray you.
