Tomb card

Version 0.15: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The Tomb card surrounds the player with a single layer of temporary rock walls. This layer may not be complete, and the duration is calculated by: 10 + power/20 + 1d(power/4) – 1.

• Minimum duration (0 evocations, plain deck, without Nemelex): 10 turns.
• Maximum duration (27 evocations, legendary deck, full piety with Nemelex): 62 + 1d268 turns.

The entombment effect iterates over each adjacent tile, making the following checks:

• If a one-in-power chance occurs, skip the tile.
• If the tile contains a monster, any kind of wall, a door, a portal entrance, an altar, or deep water, skip it. (This list is not necessarily complete.)

If the tile is not skipped:

• Any clouds and mechanical traps in the tile are destroyed.
• The terrain type of the tile is changed to an ordinary rock wall. Any items on the floor will be displaced to the square where you are standing.

Chances of success

Assuming that the player is not a worshipper of Nemelex Xobeh, for 8 and 9 wall tiles.
