Lightning scales

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

These scales have been fashioned into armour for a naga's lower body. Faintly crackling with electricity, they have been enchanted to allow their wearer to slither at almost a human's pace.

Desirability

Probably the best naga barding out there, the lightning scales give a useful resistance and help mitigate a naga's slow movement speed. If you get lucky and are playing a naga when you find this, strongly consider wearing it (unless you're worshipping Cheibriados; he doesn't like hasty items like this).

History

In 0.13 this artifact will reduce your movement delay by one and its enchantment will increased to +6.

The lightning scales were added in 0.10.
