This attack should not be confused with the "deadly touch" that is the sole attack of the Rider known as Death.

The touch of death is a spell cast by the most powerful spell-casting monsters in the game, such as arch-liches and the Wizard of Yendor. It has no effect if you are magic resistant or hallucinating, or polymorphed into a non-living monster or demon; it can otherwise fail on a (12 in monster's level) chance. If all of these fail, as the name suggests, you die instantly.
