Horn

Spoiler Warning: This page contains spoilers which may affect your IVAN experience negatively

There are three kinds of horns: one that induces fear, one that soothes it and one that causes confusion. All horns take time to 'recharge' their effects, like all other misical instruments.

Horn of Fear

Applying this tool will frighten off almost any hostile in the immediate vicinity. You cannot scare Golems as they are emotionless magical constructs. Many named characters and unique monsters are either highly resistant or immune to the horn's effects. The Enner Beast will yield one when killed; you may also find one in a shop or just lying about.

Success message: You produce a frightening, almost scream-like sound.

Failure message: You produce a mighty sound.

Horn of Bravery

Applying this tool will negate Panic for you and any ally in a one-square radius. Shop and search for this tool, or get on the good side of Dulcis and hope she gives you one when you pray.

Success message: You produce a loud but calming sound.

Failure message: You produce a mighty sound.

Horn of Confusion

Applying this horn will confuse hostile creatures in your vicinity.

CLIVAN

This horn originaly comes from the CLIVAN variant. Orc shamans will frequently use horns of confusion against you.

Weight reduction

The Horn of Fear can be hardened all the way to Green Light Crystal and the Horn of Bravery to Diamond. While as of yet horns are among the Invincible Items in all versions of IVAN (variants included), you might want to harden or SoCM the Horn of Bravery to a lighter material. The Horn of Bravery in its original form weighs in at a whopping 4200 g - more than nearly all weapons and some armor!
