Dazzling Flash is a Level 3 Conjurations/Hexes spell that attempts to blind all monsters within range.
Effect
When Dazzling Flash is cast, all vulnerable creatures within range and LOS may be blinded for 4 to 8 turns, with the chance of success increasing with spell power and decreasing with monster hit dice. At full power, the odds are 95% - (4 * HD).
Dazzling Flash has no effect on the undead, nonliving, or plants. Additionally, some creatures with powerful senses (or no eyes!) are immune to blinding, such as wolves and jellies.
Strategy
While useful to anyone as an occasional escape spell or to slow down a crowd while you whittle it down to size, stabbers benefit the most, as this spell ignores both willpower and see invisible. Its effectiveness tapers off toward the endgame, where more monsters are immune or have high HD.
History
Dazzling Flash was added in 0.25, replacing Dazzling Spray.
