Confusion is a dangerous status condition; what few actions it doesn't outright disable are rendered unreliable at best. Confused characters cannot use magic [[spells]], special [[abilities]], [[wands]], or [[shields]], and any attempt to move or attack may instead result in stumbling in a random direction. Fortunately, quaffing a [[potion of curing]] will instantly cure confusion, but there's nothing stopping a monster from simply confusing you again, and [[mummy|mummies]] and characters in [[lichform]] don't even have that option. Followers of [[Ru]], [[Elyvilon]], or [[Zin]] could use god abilities to [[Confusion#Dealing_with_Confusion|cure or prevent]] confusion.
