 Death magic is generally only encountered in two forms: the form of concentrated [[ray]]s zapped from a [[wand of death]] or the [[finger of death]] spell, and the [[touch of death]] monster spell.
-Death magic is not treated as a formal [[damage type]] in either case, since the touch of death is a mage monster spell, while the death rays technically shares its damage type with [[disintegration]] rays: the code uses the same ray color and damage type flag of <tt>AD_DISN</tt> for both and has cases that distinguish between the two, effectively depending on whether the ray's source is a wand (i.e. the wand of death) or a [[monster]] (i.e. a [[black dragon]]'s [[breath]] weapon).

 [[Death resistance]] is an informal property that fully protects monsters from the effects of death magic, including a [[hero]] in the form of a monster with the property: unlike [[magic resistance]], it also protects the hero from death rays zapped directly at themselves.
