Version 0.33: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Hurls a large and heavy shard of crystal. It may render a creature's body structure as brittle and fragile as shattered and unrefined crystal, increasing the damage they take from all sources.

Crystallizing Shot is a monster-only spell that launches a shard of crystal. If it hits a target and does any damage, there is a 75% chance to apply the Fragile status for 8-18 turns (up to 50 turns). Fragile is applied after this spell's damage is applied.

History

Prior to 0.33, this spell was weaker, less accurate, and only had a 2/3 chance to apply Vitirify, but it applied the Fragile status before applying its own damage.
Crystallizing Shot was added in 0.32, replacing Crystal Bolt.
