Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page refers to the orb ego. For the mechanic sometimes referred to as god wrath, see divine retribution. Light is an ego found only on orbs. Very similar to the unrand Eos, characters wielding an orb of light illuminates a 3-tile halo around them. The halo increases accuracy of everything in it, reveals invisible creatures, and decreases stealth.

Strategy

• The orb can be used as a bootleg see invisible, especially if you don't have another shield, or don't want to invest in the shields skill.
• The halo's accuracy boost disproportionately effects monsters. More specifically, when you've summoned a bunch of them.

History

The Light ego, along with orbs themselves, was introduced in 0.28.
