Effect
The Corona status prevents you from going invisible, greatly reduces your stealth, and makes you easier to hit (attackers gain a to-hit bonus of 1d8 + 1). Monsters inflicted by Corona are affected in a similar fashion, though monsters don't have any stealth to reduce.
This status is negated by being in Dithmenos' Shadow Form.

- Zin's Recite may inflict Corona on monsters.
- Meteorae have an innate glowing mutation.
