			In [[dNetHack]], [[notdNetHack]], and [[notnotdNetHack]], the '''hexagram''' is a [[ward]] which [[scare]]s some monsters when engraved on the [[floor]]. Hexagrams can be reinforced up to 7-fold, with each level of reinforcement taking 12 strokes to draw. With a [[Engraving#Speed\|fast engraving]] tool each reinforcement takes 1 turn, or 12 turns with a slow engraving tool. It gains no secondary effects at higher levels of reinforcement.


			[[File:Hexagram.png]]


			The following monsters are warded by hexagrams:
			* [[minion]]s, including
			** {{white\|7}} [[lawful angels and minions]]
			** {{white\|9}} [[neutral angels and minions]]
			** {{white\|A}} [[chaotic angels and minions]]
			* {{white\|i}} [[minor demon]]s
			* {{white\|&}} [[major demon]]s
			* {{white\|'}} [[golem]]s
			* {{white\|K}} [[Keter Sephiroth]], ''except'': {{brightcyan\|K}} [[Chokhmah Sephirah]]
			* other monsters:
			** {{red\|d}} [[hell hound]] and {{red\|d}} [[hell hound pup]]
			** {{yellow\|f}} [[son of Typhon]]
			** {{cyan\|Q}} [[quantum mechanic]]
			** {{blue\|e}} [[eye of doom]]
			<!-- elder priest and {{green\|&}} [[Great Cthulhu]] are blacklisted despite not belonging to any of the warded classes. might have been removed from MA_MINION at some point. -->

			==Generation==
			Scrolls of hexagram make up only {{frac\|24}} (~4.2%) of all randomly generated [[Scroll of warding\|scrolls of warding]]. Writing a scroll of hexagram with a [[magic marker]] costs 8 charges. Scrolls of hexagram cannot be directly [[wish]]ed for.

			Hexagrams only appear in [[spellbook]]s of level 6 and above. Level 6 spellbooks have a {{frac\|9}} chance of containing a hexagram, while level 7 spellbooks only have a {{frac\|12}} chance. <!-- lvl.6 -> needs to pass 1/3, then 2/3 for not penta, then 1/2 for hexa = 1/9. lvl.7 -> 3/4 -> 2/3 -> 1/2 -> 1/3 = 1/12-->

			Hexagram, along with many other wards, can be learned from the [[User:Chris/dNetHack/Artifacts/Necronomicon#Study_up_on_ancient_warding_signs\|Necronomicon's]] option to "Study up on ancient warding signs".

			Successfull [[prayer]] has a chance to teach the hexagram ward. If a prayer would [[Prayer#Favors\|grant an intrinsic]] and the [[hero]] already has [[intrinsic]] [[telepathy]], [[speed]], and [[stealth]], and already knows the [[hamsa]] ward, the hexagram is taught.

			==Description==
			Standing on a square with a hexagram engraved prevents [[Pale Night\|Pale Night's]] seduction attack.

			Like the [[Circle of Acheron]] and [[Heptagram]], Hexagrams guard against the [[touch of death]] spell, preventing monsters from casting them.

			Hexagrams appear as "x-fold hexagram" on the floor.

			==Encyclopedia entry==

			{{encyclopedia\|
			The hexagram is based on the triangle gestalt. The earliest
			examples found are dated back to around 800-600 B.C.
			If the structure had been designed by a process of random
			experimentation with the basic gestalt, the hexagram as
			graphically simpler than the pentagram would have been
			created long before it. Present archeological and historical
			facts, however, indicate that it first appeared at least
			3,000 years later than the pentgram. It is sometimes reffered
			to as Solomon's seal, though the sign on Solomon's seal is
			believed to have been a pentagram, and it is frequently used
			in the magic formulas in the old book of witchcraft,
			The Key of Solomon.

			The alchemists of the Middle Ages used the hexagram first and
			foremost as a general symbol representing the art of alchemy
			and secondly as a sign for combinations of water and fire.
			Combined these two triangles formed the symbol for fire water,
			the essence or spiritus of wine: alcohol. It was also used as
			a sign for quintessence, the fifth element.
			[ Adapted from symbols.com, the online encyclopedia of
			Western signs and ideograms ]

			Composed of just twelve strokes, the hexagram can be drawn
			fairly quickly. It may be reinforced up to seven times.
