Talisman

2026-03-18T19:44:49Z

Predelnik: Fixed that talismans needs to be put on instead of evoked. Also transformation delay is apparently 4, 3 in code + this wait starts on next turn.

{{version034}}
{{flavour|Talismans allow their user to shift into a different form. Entering or leaving a form with a talisman requires a brief period of concentration, but otherwise, forms last until the user chooses to leave them.

More powerful talismans require some amount of Shapeshifting skill, without which a user will find their maximum health reduced until they leave the form. Shapeshifting skill also increases other benefits provided by talismans' forms, though weaker talismans have a limit to how helpful skill can be.}}
'''Talismans''' are items used to change your [[Transformation|form]], using the [[Shapeshifting]] skill.

==Useful Info==
A talisman, when '''P'''ut on, turns you into its respective [[transformation]] (e.g. a [[quill talisman]] turns you into [[Quill Form]]). This transformation lasts indefinitely. It can't be [[potion of cancellation|cancelled]] or [[Quicksilver Bolt|dispelled]], though you can voluntarily exit by taking off the talisman at any time. Entering or exiting a form takes 4 turns<ref>{{source ref|0.34.0|delay.h|653}}</ref>. If you are turned into a [[bad form]], when you revert, you'll go back to your talisman form.

Talismans may spawn as [[randart]]s; any randart properties apply so long as you remain in the form. For example, the quill talisman "Qicrucob" {rF+} would give permanent [[fire resistance]] in addition to all the benefits of Quill Form.

The [[undead]] ([[Mummies]], [[Poltergeist]]s and [[Revenant]]s) are unable to transform. [[Zin]] despises form-shifting, and will instantly excommunicate any follower who uses one.

===Transformations===
Each form has its own benefits and downsides. However, talisman forms share a few things in common:

* Many talisman forms boost [[Unarmed Combat]]'s base damage.
* Most forms will [[meld]] certain types of equipment, which cannot be used. For example, a [[blade talisman]] turns your hands into blades, melding your [[weapon]], [[shield]], and [[gloves]].
* Forms often negate certain [[mutation]]s, or add new ones. They can also change your [[size]].

Being in any form will make you take +75% damage from [[silver]] weaponry.

===Skill===
Each form has a minimum [[Shapeshifting]] skill. Below this skill, you will receive a penalty to max HP. Every level of skill below the minimum gives a penalty of -10% max HP (max. -90% HP), which is then multiplied by the form bonus. 

Raising Shapeshifting past this point will give you form-specific benefits. Quill Form will have increased damage on quills, Statue Form will increase your defenses further, etc. Each form also has a maximum Shapeshifting skill, where further training has no benefit.

Talismans are not related to [[spell]]s in any way, so [[intelligence]], [[wizardry]], etc. has no effect, and [[Trog]] won't hate them. They are also unaffected by [[Ru#Sacrifices|Sacrifice Artifice]], since they are not evocables.

==Sources==
Talismans are found around the dungeon and in jewellery [[shop]]s. There's a 50% chance to find a [[blade talisman]], possibly an artefact one, in the Hall of Blades part of [[Elven Halls]]:2. The loot chamber in [[Crypt]]:3 has a 33% chance to contain a [[talisman of death]].

Some [[unique]]s can drop talismans after you kill them:
*{{monsterlink|Rupert}}, [[maw talisman]], 50% chance
*{{monsterlink|Aizul}}, [[serpent talisman]], 100% chance (guaranteed to be an [[artefact]])
*{{monsterlink|Roxanne}}, [[granite talisman]], 100% chance
*{{monsterlink|Sojobo}}, [[storm talisman]], 50% chance
*{{monsterlink|Bai Suzhen}}, [[dragon talisman]], 50% chance
*{{monsterlink|Josephina}}, [[death talisman]], 50% chance

==History==
*In [[0.34]], [[spore talisman]]s and [[eel talisman]]s were added. Talismans were also made to be cheaper in shops. Also, talismans are now considered gear and are (p)ut on instead of e(v)oked.
*In [[0.33]], a ''dozen'' new talismans were added, including: [[Quill talisman]], [[Inkwell talisman]], [[Protean talisman]], [[Medusa talisman]], [[Rimehorn talisman]], [[Scarab talisman]], [[Fortress talisman]], [[Lupine talisman]], [[Spider talisman]], [[Wellspring talisman]], [[Hive talisman]], [[Riddle talisman]], [[Sanguine talisman]].
:Also, the skill requirements for different tiers changed:
:*Tier 2 (ie: protean tier) is 8-14 instead of 7-14.
:*Tier 3 (ie: blade tier) is 12-20 instead of 10-19.
:*Tier 4 (ie: statue tier) is 17-25 instead of 16-25.
*Talismans were introduced in [[0.31]], replacing [[Transmutations]] magic. Removed spells include [[Beastly Appendage]], [[Spider Form]], [[Ice Form]], [[Blade Hands]], [[Statue Form]], [[Dragon Form]], [[Storm Form]], and [[Necromutation]] (Lichform).

Module talk:Table of spells

2022-09-27T20:29:34Z

Predelnik:

==Spell Noise script error==
I don't know much about using Modules, but as far as I can tell, some templates aren't prepared to accept full text in the Spell Effect Noise field (I dunno if they only accept integers or what). For the most part, this isn't a problem, but [[Inner Flame]] and [[Fulminant Prism]] both have an initial effect noise of 0 and then make more noise afterwards when their target explodes. 
[[User:Ge0ff|Ge0ff]]'s last edit to this module worked well on Inner Flame's page, but (from what I can tell) broke everything based off of [[:Template:spell table]] (so also things like [[:Template:spell table by level]], [[:Template:spell table by school]], [[:Template:spell table by flag]], etc.). Given that [[:Template:spell info]] worked normally, I think the problem lies with those other templates. In any case, I went back to using the old spell template on the Inner Flame page so we at least have accurate information without breaking a whole bunch of spell lists. 
Does anybody with more experience in coding wiki Module/Template relationships have a solution for this problem? [[User:Spudwalt|--spudwalt]] ([[User talk:Spudwalt|talk]]) 04:18, 14 September 2020 (CEST)

:Right, it looks like it was the <code>format_noise</code> method, which was trying to find <code>math.max(noise.casting, noise.effect)</code> in [[Module:Spell]]. Switched to grabbing the first consecutive block of digits instead, and it seems to be working now. -[[User:LunaeLumen|LunaeLumen]] ([[User talk:LunaeLumen|talk]]) 21:57, 14 September 2020 (CEST)

==Generating==
Currently the data is from [[0.25]], so we need to update it to [[0.28]]. To do this, https://github.com/plampila/crawl-wiki-modules speaks of a tool to generate a data table. It looks like the tool consists of the files changed at this [https://github.com/plampila/crawl/commit/1429969f80af867dfcc5431dd3ce1f7b4aae869f#diff-756f39d746a592012749140a642b24a8aa0e7f0df464c8f77a6a1edf68f50755|this commit]. So I'm thinking the process is to download the crawl 0.28 source code, make these file changes and then build and run <code>json-data-main.exe</code>.

One misleading thing is that [[Ice Magic]] for example says the page is for [[0.21]], but the data is from [[0.25]], so it seems like it should say that instead. Maybe the destination pages could use a different header template that reads: "The spell information is from 0.25 and may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl" where the version number is read from this module.
--[[User:ScriptFactory|ScriptFactory]] ([[User talk:ScriptFactory|talk]]) 21:14, 8 February 2022 (CET)
:If you can figure out how to automate the process of updating modules like this, go ahead. I've just been updating things manually so far. [[User:Spudwalt|--spudwalt]] ([[User talk:Spudwalt|talk]]) 04:20, 9 February 2022 (CET)
Well, that took quite a bit of effort. The C++ code and other files needed heavy revision. I put the new changes on my personal GitHub repo for now. Also I'll add instructions there so that hopefully the process will be a little smoother next time.

In an attempt to avoid C++ compiling, I also tried a different method using only Lua scripts. The downside is that each time, several C++ files must be translated into Lua with a text editor by using search and replace. This is somewhat error-prone. If that sounds easier for other wiki editors, maybe we can move towards that in the future. To me, the important thing is that the wiki can be updated when new versions come out, even if there are errors that need to be cleaned up later.

==Quotes==

I can see that extraction script support quotes as well but they were removed during previous regeneration. Was it intentional, if so why? --[[User:Predelnik|Predelnik]] ([[User talk:Predelnik|talk]]) 10:22, 27 September 2022 (CEST)
:There was an issue recently where the quotes weren’t formatted properly for lua, they may have been removed because of that. If so, all that needs to be done is add a \ before quotation marks [[User:Pisaster|Pisaster]] ([[User talk:Pisaster|talk]]) 20:44, 27 September 2022 (CEST)
::Seems like quotes from crawl source use unicode fancy quotation marks which seem to work fine without escaping for me, please report if there's any issue. On github page it is mentioned that there is an issue with encoding during conversion to lua but it does not happen if conversion is done in linux (wsl). Normal ascii quotation marks would be escaped during serialization to json I believe so it should be fine.--[[User:Predelnik|Predelnik]] ([[User talk:Predelnik|talk]]) 22:29, 27 September 2022 (CEST)

Blind

2022-09-27T06:19:20Z

Predelnik: Add wand of light as a source of blindness

{{version028}}

'''Blind''' is a [[status effect]] which causes the victim to treat the player and all other creatures as if they were [[invisible]], whether or not they actually are. [[See invisible]] is rendered useless for the duration of the effect.

In general, the effects of blindness are less dramatic than one might hope:
*Blind attackers receive a 35% penalty to their [[to-hit]] rolls.
*Blind ranged attackers will often target the wrong tile, potentially hitting other targets or missing entirely.
*Anything with animal [[intelligence]] or worse will occasionally move as though confused, rather than pursuing or attacking you. Anything of human intelligence can still track you normally, however.
*Blind enemies will be susceptible to [[stabbing]] attacks as though you were invisible.

You can blind opponents in the following ways:
*[[Atropa]] [[dart]]s will blind enemies, if they succeed.
*Blindness is a possible effect of the following divine abilities:
**[[Ru]]'s Aura of Power and Apocalypse.
**[[Zin]]'s Recite (when used against heretics).
*[[Wand of light]]

Players can not be blinded. Effects that would blind or dazzle players will instead cause a short [[confusion]] (no effect for the already confusing atropa).

==Dazzled==
'''Dazzled''' is a similar condition which inflicts all the same penalties, but which only lasts for several turns.

You can dazzle opponents in the following ways:
*The [[cloak of Starlight]] dazzles attackers in retaliation.
*Hitting monsters with [[Dazzling Flash]].

==History==
*The cloak of Starlight gained *Dazzle in [[0.26]].
*Prior to [[0.16]], the [[sense invisible]] monster intrinsic would stop blindness.
*During the brief period in which [[jester]]s existed, you could also temporarily blind monsters by hitting them with [[pie]]s.

Necrotise is a level 1 [[Necromancy]] spell which fires a beam of [[negative energy]] against a single target; it must succeed against the enemy's [[willpower]] to function. If it kills the target, or the target is killed within one turn after, they will turn into a [[skeleton]] on your side.

[[Necromancer]]s begin with this spell in their libraries. [[Kikubaaqudgha]] will also always gift this spell at 1* of piety.

==Useful Info==
Other than dealing direct damage, this spell creates [[derived undead]], in the form of skeletons.

===Enchantment Power===
This spell has a special modifier to success rate:

{{crawlquote|Enchantment Power: 3.5 × [[spell power]]}}

Early on, this spell is effectively 3.5 times more powerful than the "typical" Hex. However, it has such a low power cap that it becomes virtually useless against later mid-game and end-game enemies.

===Skeletons===
[[HD]] of skeletons depends on the [[spellpower]]: <code>minion_hd = mons_hd * (100 + pow) / 300</code>. This means that at the max spellpower skeletons will have 1/2 of their original HD. Skeletons will last for around 27 turns, regardless of spellpower. There is no limit to the amount of skeletons that you can create.

==Strategy==
*Note that your own skeletons can block Necrotise's line of fire.

==Monster Spell==
Monsters have access to the [[Pain]] spell, which deals the same damage but doesn't create a skeleton.

==History==
*Necrotise was introduced in [[0.29]], combining the effect of [[Pain]] (without the self damage) and [[Animate Skeleton]].

Predelnik: Fix erroneous copy-pasted text from wand of quicksilver

{{version|029}}{{stub}}
{{item
|itemtype = Wand
|name = Wand of light
|cost = ?
}}{{flavour|A magical device which fires a ray of searing light, injuring and blinding those struck. Tougher monsters will recover their vision more quickly.}}

The '''wand of light''' fires a powerful ray of light which [[blind]]s enemies. Players are instead [[confuse]]d for 1-2 turns.

It functions similarly to the [[wand of acid]] and [[wand of quicksilver]] as an attack wand. Only one of these three "beam" wands may exist in any given game.

==History==
*The wand of light was added in [[0.29]]
