'''Spellbook of passwall''' is a [[spellbook]] in [[SLASH'EM]].  As its name suggests, it allows casters to pass through solid objects for a short amount of time (between 50 and 149 turns) before the caster becomes solid again and is given the message "You feel a little more solid."  If the caster is in a solid object when he/she becomes solid again, the caster will be stuck there unless they can dig themselves out, pray, or cast passwall again.  Be careful when you cast passwall without enough power to cast it (or, alternatively, [[dig]]) again, or at least a [[pickaxe]] or [[mattock]] to dig yourself out of a wall with, or you may find yourself stuck waiting to power up again for a while, leaving yourself open to potential monsters which can already pass through walls such as [[xorn]]. On the other hand, if you find yourself being pummeled and there are no such monsters nearby, you can stick yourself in a wall while you wait to heal.

In SLASH'EM, the spellbook of passwall allows the player to learn the spell of passwall. It is a level 6 body spell.

Description

Casting the spell grants temporary intrinsic phasing, allowing you to pass through solid walls and other objects for anywhere between 50 and 149 turns before they become solid again; if you are in a solid object when the phasing wears off, you will be stuck there unless you can dig yourself out, pray, or cast the spell again.

Strategy

Be careful when you cast passwall without enough power to cast it or a spell of dig, or at least a pick-axe or dwarvish mattock to dig yourself out of a wall with - you may find yourself stuck waiting to power up again for a while, leaving yourself open to other phasing monsters such as xorns. On the other hand, if you find yourself being pummeled and there are no such monsters nearby, you can stick yourself in a wall while you wait to heal.

Messages
