Hat of Sir Darius Ninny

The Pre-Eminent Hat of Sir Darius Ninny
A ritualistic prank, the senior students would play
on new inductees into the Arcanum. They would single out an enthusiastic, yet naive, new student
and "honor" them with this cap. The frosh would
be stuck with this hat until he could find a sympa-
thetic professor to remove the curse laid upon it.
While wearing this cap, the suckers intelligence
would be reduced to ten.
