Crystallizing Shot

Version 0.32: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.

Hurls a large and heavy shard of crystal. It may render a creature's body structure as brittle and fragile as shattered and unrefined crystal, increasing the damage they take from all sources.

Crystallizing Shot is a monster-only spell that launches a shard of crystal. If it hits a target and does any damage, there is a 2/3 chance to apply the Fragile status for 8-18 turns (up to 50 turns).

Note that the spell gives you the Fragile status before applying its own damage, so, for example, a crystal guardian's 2d24 shot can deal up to 72 damage instead of 48.

The following enemies cast Crystallizing Shot:

• r Crystal echidna (2d19 damage)
• 9 Crystal guardian (2d24 damage)

History

• In 0.33, crystallizing shot will be more accurate, more damaging, and more likely to apply Vitrify (75% chance instead of 66%).
• Crystallizing Shot was added in 0.32, replacing Crystal Bolt.
