Corona

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Corona is a status effect and monster-only spell which causes the target to glow with an aura of light.

Effect

The Corona status (backlit) prevents you from going invisible, and makes you easier to hit (attackers gain a to-hit bonus of 1d8 + 1). This status is negated by Dithmenos' Shadow Form.

Other than the Corona spell, the following sources can inflict backlit:

• Meteorae have an innate glowing mutation.
• If your magic contamination is above 5000, then you'll glow, gaining the backlit status.
• Ru's Aura of Power inflicts the Corona status on monsters.
• Evoking a piece from Xom's chessboard has a 10% chance to inflict Corona.

Spell

Corona must have line of fire to the target to cast, and it must overcome the target's willpower to inflict backlit.

The following enemies cast Corona:

• e Dowan
• c Faun
• g Gnoll shaman
