Hat of the High Council.
If you want to use this thing it's normally because you want to kill things with spells and being unable to kill things with spells is bad for you.
But this has -wiz, so you have to try it on to see how it fuck up your casting, it may do very little or it may do a lot.
But it also has contam, so trying it on means you're risking muts (which admittedly don't matter a lot but still) for the privilege of trying it on and possibly having your main killing tools get all screwed up.
So why does it have contam?
Mind you this is particularly unfair to people who see it for the first time and have no other source of negative wiz to compare it to, thus making it optimal for them to dig into the game to see how exactly it'll affect them instead of putting it on and risking mutations.
