Mesmerise is a monster-only spell which causes you to find the caster irresistibly fascinating. If the spell beats your magic resistance, you will find yourself unable to move in any direction which would place you farther away from the caster, making retreat impossible (except up or down stairs). Fortunately, finding something fascinating does not mean you like it any more than you used to, so you can still attack the caster. You can break the enchantment in the following ways:
- Killing the source of the mesmerisation
- Having enough time pass without the caster renewing the effect
- Reading a scroll of noise
- Losing line of sight to the caster (steam and scrolls of fog work well for this)
- Randomly blinking or teleporting beyond the caster's line of sight (you won't be able to do controlled teleports or blinks away)
- Unwielding the unrand artifact Obsidian Axe.
The following enemies cast Mesmerise:
You can also encounter non-spell Mesmerise effects from the following enemies:
