Version 0.33: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
- This page is about the equipment ego. For the wand, see wand of light.
| It surrounds the wearer with a glowing halo, revealing invisible creatures, increasing accuracy against all within it other than the wearer, and reducing the wearer's stealth. |
Light is an ego found only on orbs. Like the unrand Eos, characters wielding an orb of light emit a 3-tile halo. The halo makes everything inside (except you) easier to hit,[1] reveals invisible creatures, and decreases stealth.
Strategy
- The orb can be used as a bootleg see invisible. This is most useful if you don't have another shield yet.
- The halo's to-hit boost not only helps you, but your allies (summons, derived undead, etc.) too. As monsters don't have the greatest accuracy, using light can really help your allies' damage output.
- Remember that the halo will also impact your invisibility! Don't rely on it while wielding this orb.
Notes
History
- In 0.34, the light ego will be moved from orbs to helmets, replacing helmets (but not hats) of see invisible
- The light ego, along with orbs themselves, was introduced in 0.28.
