Reflection (monster spell)

From NetHackWiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Reflection is a monster spell that appears in EvilHack and Hack'EM, and functions similarly to the spell of reflection.

Description

The spell of reflection can be used by any monster that can cast mage spells and is at least level 14. The spell creates a shimmering globe around the caster that grants reflection for several turns - the spell will only be cast if the monster does not have a source of reflection (including from casting the spell previously).

Cancellation always nullifies the spell's effects and removes the globe.

Strategy

The reflection spell makes hostile spellcasters harder to dispatch with ray-based magic, though they can still be tagged with beam and area-of-effect spells, and cancellation is still effective even if the monster themselves is not cancelled.
