{{flavour|A dull grey robe. It is enchanted to provide mages with immeasurable power, and more than a little overconfidence...}}<br />
[[File:Robe_of_folly.png]] '''''the +4 robe of Folly'''''<br />
<br />
+4 [[robe]]<br />
<br />
Brilliance ([[archmagi|Boosts spellpower]] and [[potion of brilliance|halves mana costs]])<br><br />
-∞ [[Will]]<br><br />
+8 [[intelligence]]<br><br />
<br />
==Desirability==<br />
With a massive boost to every aspect of spellcasting, the '''robe of Folly'''<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|art-data.txt|955}}</ref> is a tempting piece of armour for any spellcaster. However, its drawback of setting your [[willpower]] to 0 should not be taken lightly -- an encounter with an opponent capable of [[banish]]ing or [[paralyse|paralysing]] you can very easily get you killed. Even [[confusion]] can be devastating.<br />
<br />
Many will find this robe not worth the risk when seeking to successfully retrieve the [[Orb of Zot|Orb]] and escape.... but the boosts cannot be denied. Especially weak casters may find this robe as their best option - if you'd otherwise risk death or burn consumables against regular encounters, then this robe's boosts will likely boost your net winrate. Still, if you ''do'' choose to make use of it, just don't be surprised when this robe becomes your folly.<br />
<br />
Note that the [[Spider's Nest]] and [[Snake Pit]] don't naturally have many enchantments, but certain effects like [[Dimension Anchor]] are still annoying, and a [[unique]] like [[Louise]] or [[Rupert]] can still spawn. Also, random enemies can pick up a [[wand of paralysis]] and use it.<br />
<br />
Unlike regular robes of [[Archmagi]], [[potions of brilliance]] do nothing while you're wearing this robe.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*Prior to [[0.27]], the robe of Folly had [[Archmagi]] instead of Brilliance, reduced will by -80, had +5 intelligence, and had a 50% chance to [[curse]] on equip.<br />
*Prior to [[0.14]], the robe of Folly's [[magic resistance]] penalty was -100 instead of -80.<br />
*Prior to [[0.12]], the robe of Folly was a strictly bad artifact. It was a -1 robe that completely prevented spellcasting instead of having an MR malus.<br />
