 The spell of resist poison is incredibly useful in the early game: heroes fortunate enough to start with it should cast it immediately and re-apply the spell as necessary until they can find a source of permanent intrinsic poison resistance, and the spell also makes poisonous corpses that grant the property safe to eat. The temporary poison resistance also prevents various poison [[instadeath]]s that can befall the hero in the harder early game of SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. Once the hero has obtained permanent poison resistance, however, the spellbook is a good candidate for [[blanking]].

-The '''spellbook of resist poison''' is a new spellbook in [[SLASH'EM]].  It allows the hero to learn the resist poison spell.
+==Generation==
-==Generation==
+Spellbooks of resist poison comprise approximately 2.03% of all spellbooks randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s.{{refsrc|objects.c|1091|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}} Second-hand bookstores and rare books stores can also stock spellbooks of resist poison.

-* [[Priest/SLASH'EM|Priest]]s have a {{frac|9}} chance to start with one.{{refsrc|u_init.c|1138|version=SLASH'EM 0.0.7E7F2}}
+Writing a spellbook of resist poison with a [[magic marker]] uses up 5 to 9 charges.
 ==Description==
-The spellbook allows the hero to learn the resist poison spell, a level 1 [[Spellcasting (SLASH'EM)#Protection_spells|protection spell]] which grants temporary [[poison resistance]] for 500 to 1499 (more) turns.  It has no effect if cast with the permanent poison resistance intrinsic; having the temporary intrinsic from the spell does not interfere with gaining poison resistance normally, although doing so will give the typical message for gaining poison resistance while already possessing it from another source (''"You feel especially healthy."'')
+Successfully [[cast]]ing the spell gives the [[hero]] temporary [[poison resistance]] for 500 to 1499 (more) turns&mdash;this does not interfere with gaining poison resistance normally, e.g. from eating a corpse that grants the property. It has no effect if the hero casts it while they already have intrinsic sleep resistance.
 ==Strategy==
-This is a very useful spell, and heroes fortunate enough to start with it should cast it immediately, recasting it when it times out, to prevent various early [[instadeath]]s.  As many corpses that can convey poison resistance are themselves poisonous, the spell is also useful for safely gaining the intrinsic permanently.  Once the hero has obtained permanent poison resistance, however, the spellbook is a good candidate for blanking.

-Heroes following a food-restricting conduct may find this spell to be useful for longer, although since SLASH'EM provides even more [[vegan]] sources of poison resistance than vanilla NetHack, this is likely only to be of concern to [[foodless]] heroes.
