Sigil of discharge is a technique in SLASH'EM. When used, it expands most ray-based spells into 3x3 explosions, similar to the spirit bomb. However, the explosion's range is much longer (about 7-9 tiles). Although this technique turns rays into explosions, they still bounce when the explosion hit the wall. This technique has no effects on the finger of death. This technique can be very risky if there are tame/peaceful creatures around―unlike spirit bomb, your spells can still hit them if they are in the way!

When you cast a spell with this technique active, an additional message will be displayed. Different spells have different messages:
