Revision as of 02:14, 19 July 2008

Enlightenment is a brief, one-time-only indication of a number of normally hidden character attributes, such as Luck, alignment record, and resistances to elemental attacks such as fire. When you get an enlightenment, "you feel self-knowledgeable" and these attributes are displayed; when you dismiss the window, "The feeling subsides" and the list cannot be displayed a second time, even with the ^P command, but if one records their session with ttyrec, then it can be replayed.

Enlightenment can be triggered in these ways:

Wand of Enlightenment output.

Twoweaponing
Death "You were dead." Self-explanatory. This will never be shown in present tense, for obvious reasons.

"Your luck is zero." Self-explanatory. This message will only be seen in wizard mode

Extra Luck
(the effect of extra Luck is reflected in the Luck messages above)
"You have extra luck." You have three extra Luck, obtained by carrying a noncursed luckstone, or an artifact with the same effect.
"You have reduced luck." Your Luck is reduced by three points, due to carrying a cursed luckstone, or an artifact with the same effect.

"Deity is extremely angry with you." Your god's anger is 7 or more.
"You can safely pray." You may safely pray to your god. Note that this can be misleading for neutral players polymorphed into undead - there is a random chance that is recalculated each time NetHack checks if it is safe to pray.
"You can not safely pray." There is a condition (other than your god's anger) which means you cannot safely pray. It may be because your prayer timeout is not low enough, but all other conditions, such as whether you are in Gehennom, are checked as well.
