Effects

Main article: scare

Casting this spell has the same effect as reading a scroll of scare monster. It will scare NetHack monsters, causing them to to run away. The downside of this method (versus those caused by more mundane or divine sources) is that it is subject to the target's magical resistances and immunities.

Once scared, a NetHack monster with full HP has a 4% chance of recovering each turn. The scare article has many more details. In particular, scared monsters will still attack you.
