Corona

Version 0.26: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Corona

Corona is a level 1 Hexes spell which causes the target to glow with an aura of light. For the duration of the spell, the target will be easier to hit (you gain a to-hit bonus of 1d8+1). Multiple castings will simply extend the duration of the enchantment. You must have line of fire to your target to cast this, and it must overcome the target's willpower to take hold.

This spell also allows you to see invisible creatures, outlining their silhouette with light. After determining which tile (or line of tiles) the enemy is in, use Z to target a monster you can't see. This is also a preventative; it's impossible to become invisible while affected by Corona.

Enchanters and Arcane Marksmen start with this spell memorized.

Monster Version

The monster version of the spell is identical to the player version. The following enemies cast Corona:

• e Dowan
• c Faun
• g Gnoll shaman
