*'''[[Corona]]''': This monster spell makes you easier to hit, in addition to negating invisibility. It's rarely ever an issue, as only [[gnoll shaman]]s, [[faun]]s, [[Dowan]], [[Kirke]], and some [[player ghost]]s can cast the spell. It can be resisted via [[willpower]].

Version 0.18: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Not to be confused with magic contamination, which was once simply called glow.

Glow (backlit) is a status effect that does the following:

  • Makes you easier to hit. Attackers gain 1 + 1d8 to hit against backlit targets.
  • Prevents you from going invisible.

Sources

Glow can be inflicted by the following sources:

  • The Corona spell.
  • If your magic contamination is above 5000 (yellow), then you'll glow, gaining the backlit status.
  • The Meteoran species has an innate glowing mutation.
  • Having a halo inflicts glow on everything inside it. If you are emitting the halo, monsters won't get a to-hit bonus against you.
  • Ru's Aura of Power inflicts the status on monsters.
  • Evoking a piece from Xom's chessboard has a 10% chance to inflict Corona.

Sticky Flame offers a similar, but distinct effect.
