Ring of the Mouse?

[~Nytngale (aka k-8)]

Ok so I found "an Alexandrite Ring of the Mouse" (+0 -9) (+3)

I take it that it generally sucks?
Thanks

I'm not familiar with most variants, or the new items in newer versions
of V, but ...

If the +3 is to speed, and you're not a melee character, then it would
depend on if it had any additional malus not shown here. If the only
malus were the -9 to damage then it's potentially quite interesting.

If the +3 is to stealth, it still might be interesting to a non-melee
character, but given that most Angband characters use melee at least a
little, it's probably junk anyway.

I think full casters should have bigger mana pools and arrows should
break less often. Then full casters and rangers could viably accept a
to-dam malus and full casters a to-hit malus.

The foo bolt spells should maybe be a bit more damaging too, though not
*too* much.
