Fountain

Version 0.25: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fountains are a Dungeon feature often found in many vaults. They are almost entirely cosmetic, although water-filled fountains will put out sticky flames on creatures standing in them. Also, fountains create steam and freezing vapour when fire and ice spells are cast over them.

History

• Prior to 0.15, mimics could disguise themselves as fountains.
• Prior to 0.14, you could quaff from fountains for various effects.
• Prior to 0.12, fountains dried by the player would eventually flow again given enough time (1% chance every 20 turns), becoming whatever kind of fountain they were beforehand.
