In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], '''Cerulean Sign''', also '''cerulean weeping-willow''', is a functional hallucinatory [[ward]] which [[scare]]s eldritch monsters when engraved on the [[floor]]. The Cerulean Sign cannot be reinforced, can't normally be drawn and cannot be learned even after it has been seen. While [[hallucinating]], attempting to draw a ward may sometimes instead draw a Cerulean Sign, and will take as many strokes to draw as the ward that had been attempted to be drawn. It gains no secondary effects at higher levels of reinforcement.<br />
<br />
The Cerulean Sign wards monsters as if it were a [[Elder Sign]]. Since it cannot be reinforced itself, it cannot ward those monsters only warded by a fully reinforced Elder Sign.<br />
<br />
==Generation==<br />
[[Rings]] can very rarely be found on randomly generated rings with a low probability.<br />
<br />
[[Spellbooks]] do not contain Cerulean Signs.<br />
<br />
Reading a [[dNetHack items#Scroll of warding|scroll of warding]] while [[confused]] normally engraves a ward on the ground that the hero does not currently know. If all regular wards are known to the hero, a Cerulean Sign is engraved on the [[floor]] instead. <br />
<br />
[[Polymorphing]] an existing ward or ring may result in a Cerulean Sign ward, both with low probability.<br />
<br />
In the [[Astral Plane]], [[anachrononaut]]s must invoke the [[Annulus]] at the high altar to [[Ilsensine]] to complete their [[ascension]], which will destroyed, leaving behind a burned Cerulean Sign.<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The Cerulean Sign can't be learned, even if one is found and examined. On the ground, it appears as a "cerulean weeping-willow". <br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
The Cerulean Sign is the [[wikipedia:Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons and Dragons]] equivalent of the [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Elder Sign|Elder Sign]], introduced in [[wikipedia:Lords of Madness|Lords of Madness]]. <br />
