Beam
Beams are directional effects produced by certain wands and spells.
Beams are similar to rays in that they affect a series of tiles in a specified direction over a limited range (or can be aimed at yourself). However, beams do not bounce, are not animated on screen, and in many cases will not auto-identify. Beams are halted by doors, although some will destroy the door in the process.
An angry god who fails to destroy you with lighting will try again with a wide-angle disintegration beam directed at you.
