Sentinel's Mark

Version 0.32: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Bestows a strong beacon upon a targeted creature. It announces the presence and location of the marked creature to everyone on the same level.

Sentinel's Mark is a monster-only spell which inflicts the Mark status, if it overcomes the target's willpower. This causes all monsters in the level to know your location. Sleeping monsters are not affected by this unless they wake up. Quaffing a potion of cancellation will dispel the status.

You can also gain the Mark status when an alarm trap is triggered; this effect ignores your willpower and makes a very loud noise.

The following enemies cast Sentinel's Mark:

• @ Harold
• p Vault sentinel

The following enemies may be able to cast Sentinel's Mark, depending on their spell set:

• & Pandemonium lord (3.4% chance)

Ophanim automatically apply the Mark status while they're in your line of sight.
