Stunning Burst

Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Fires a weak electrical burst which, on impact, causes very brief paralysis. Willpower is of no use against this effect, but resistance to electricity can sometimes prevent it.

Stunning Burst is a monsters-only spell that does electrical damage and can inflict a very brief (1 turn) paralysis on hit. Electricity resistance provides a 50% chance to resist paralysis, stasis grants full immunity to it, but willpower has no effect. Characters with high evasion can simply dodge this attack.

The following enemies cast Stunning Burst:

• E Air elemental (2d11 damage)
• R Wendigo (2d17 damage)
