User:Chris/dNetHack/Cerulean Sign

The Cerulean Sign is a special hallucinatory ward that is functional. On the ground, it appears as a "cerulean weeping-willow". It is the Dungeons and Dragons equivalent of the Elder Sign, introduced in Lords of Madness. In dnethack, it acts as a 1-fold elder sign.

Strokes to draw

The Cerulean Sign can't be normally drawn.

• It may be drawn with very low probability while hallucinating. In this case, the strokes to draw is the same as whatever you were TRYING to draw.
• It may also be drawn by polymorphing an existing engraving or found on a ring, both with low probability.
• If you know all other normal wards, reading a confused scroll of warding (which normally engraves a random ward you do not know) will draw the cerulean sign.

Warded monsters

• b, j, m, p, w, l, P, U, ;, trapper, lurker above, nightgaunt, byakhee, mind flayer, deep one, deeper one.

Maximum reinforcement

1-fold (can't be reinforced)

How to learn

• The Cerulean Sign can't be learned.
• It may be found with low probability on randomly generated rings.
  • Although the ward can't be learned, the ring can be applied to scare monsters as normal.
