Aura
A creature from the heavenly realms. It consists of a wheel within a wheel, and both of these are covered in eyes; strange flames of holy fire flicker all over it.

“As I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside
each creature with its four faces. This was the appearance and structure
of the wheels: They sparkled like chrysolite, and all four looked alike.
Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they
moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced;
the wheels did not turn about as the creatures went. Their rims were
high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.”
-Ezekiel 1:15-18 (New International Version)

Useful Info

Ophanim are moderately powerful holy monsters with 6-tile halo auras that attack solely using magic and their inherent Sentinel's Mark ability. As soon as they are in LOS, they mark you and cast Holy Flames to surround you in a ring of holy fire, followed by Bolts of Fire in succeeding turns. They are principally found in the holy-themed Pandemonium level, but also appear in deeper Ziggurat floors and The Abyss.

Spells

Spell set I
Slot1 Bolt of Fire (3d24) Magical flag
Slot2 Holy Flames Magical flag

Tips & Tricks

  • Get out of the ring of holy fire as soon as you can, preferably with a Blink. Undead characters should be wary as areas can soon be saturated with rings of holy fire.
    • Or just stay in the ring and use your ranged weapons and spells. The clouds will dissipate after some time.

Trivia

The Ophanim (Hebrew for "wheels") are a class of celestial beings found in the Book of Enoch, where they guard the throne of God without sleeping, along with the Cherubim and Seraphim. The wheels seen in Ezekiel's vision of the chariot are believed to also be Ophanim.
