Hallucination resistance

Hallucination resistance is a rare resistance property that occurs in NetHack, and protects against hallucination status.

Wielding Grayswandir is the only source of hallucination resistance that can be found in vanilla NetHack.

Description

Unlike most other resistances, possessing a source of hallucination resistance does not actually stop the hallucination from occurring - rather, it takes effect as normal, but is suppressed while the resistance is active. If the resistance source becomes inactive for any reason (i.e., you stopped wielding Grayswandir), hallucination resumes as normal with the standard message accompanying it.

Messages

Your vision seems to flatten for a moment, but is normal now.

Your hallucination wore off while you had a source of hallucination resistance.
