===Monster Abilities===

*'''Physical resist''' - The enemy takes this much less damage from your melee attacks, unless you have the Magical attack ability.
*'''Magical resist''' - The enemy takes this much less damage from the BURNDAYRAZ glyph, and also from your melee if you have the Magical attack ability. They also have this much chance of resisting targeted Glyph spells.
*'''First strike''' - The enemy will attack you first in a melee battle no matter the circumstances. The only exception is for Assassins using their SWIFT HAND ability to instantly kill a lower levelled monster.
*'''Undead''' - The enemy is immune to the effects of the APHEELSIK Glyph and (in v0.15) Venom Blade.
*'''Magical attack''' - The melee attack of this enemy causes magic damage, and is thus resisted by Magical resist rather than Physical resist. A Berserker, for instance, with 50% Magical Resist would tend to take less damage from an enemy with Magical attack than from one that does not.
*'''Poison attack''' - The melee attack of this enemy will inflict Poison status on you, unless you are immune to Poison. Poison prevents you from regenerating your health whilst uncovering unexplored areas. ''(Note for all [[Transmuter|Transmuters]]: while you still can be poisoned, the effect of poison will have no effect on your health regeneration since transmuters cannot regenerate health by exploring anyway.)''
*'''Mana burn''' - The melee attack of this enemy will set your current mana to 0 and inflict Mana Burn status on you, unless you are immune to Mana Burn. Mana Burn prevents you from regenerating your mana whilst uncovering unexplored areas. Mana Burn can be cured by using a mana potion.
*'''Death gaze''' - If the enemy attacks you with melee whilst your HP is below the indicated percentage of your Max HP, then it will attempt to instantly kill you via petrification. Death Protection can help prevent this. It has no effect if your HP is equal to or above the listed percentage before the melee attack is initiated.
*'''Blinks''' - Upon receiving damage, even from a spell, the enemy will warp to a random unobstructed spot on the map. If this is an unexplored region, you may find it difficult to reach the enemy again before it can regenerate all its lost health.
*'''Weaken attack''' - The melee attack of this enemy will reduce your Max HP and Base Damage by 1 each, down to a minimum of 1. This only takes effect if the enemy's attack causes damage to you. The decrease in Health and Damage is permanent.
*'''Life steal''' - When you uncover the tile this enemy is standing, then they will absorb health from you until you are brought below a specific percentage of your Max HP. For instance, 40% Life Steal would absorb health from you until you're brought to 60% of your Max HP or below. This can only be done once when you uncover their tile.
*'''Death protection''' - Every hit that would normally kill the enemy will instead leave them with 1 HP remaining. Enemies can have multiple levels of Death protection, with each level protecting from one hit. It is possible to remove two levels of Death protection at once via the Sorcerer's MANA SHIELD ability.

Alpha:Mystera Annur

2011-03-28T18:33:18Z

Chamone:

Mystera Annur, Patron of the Arcane, is one of the gods available for worshipping in Desktop Dungeon. Mystera may be worshipped by locating her altar in a dungeon (if it appears).

==Initial Worship==

If an altar of Mystera Annur is found in the dungeon, and the hero is not yet worshipping any other god, it is possible to pray to Mystera.

===Immediate effect===

When first worshipping Mystera Annur, several effects occur:
* '''Attack Strength''' is permanently set to 1.
** This sets your melee attack to 1 point. You will never do any more than 1 point of damage to monsters when performing Melee attacks.
** Your Attack Strength will never increase above 1, regardless of what items or bonuses you manage to collect; this effect persists if you renounce Mystera Annur.
* Mystera Annur will award you a number of '''Piety''' points based on the number of Mana point you've spent so far in the current dungeon.
** The number of points awarded is based on Mana spent so far. If no spells were cast before joining Mystera's religion, no Piety points are awarded as part of the joining effects.

''Confirmation needed. The rate appears to be 60%.''

** ''Research info required: What is the ratio between Mana spent and Piety? Also, is there a maximum limit to the number of Piety points you can get here?''
*** ''v0.15 [[http://i56.tinypic.com/w6xt0n.jpg Image of +41 piety upon worship]}
===Conversion===

Followers of Tikki Tooki may convert their religion to Mystera Annur at the cost of piety. The hero will keep any bonuses or penalties bestowed upon him by Tikki Tooki, but will not trigger Mystera Annur's immediate effects as described above. You may convert by visiting Mystera's altar and asking to convert:

* Conversion from '''[[Tikki Tooki]]''' costs 60 piety.

It also is possible to convert your religion from Mystera Annur to The Pactmaker, by locating his altar and asking for it. Your hero will keep any bonuses or penalties bestowed by Mystera Annur.

* Conversion to '''[[The Pactmaker]]''' costs 30 piety.

==Religion==

Mystera Annur is the goddess of the Arcane, and the most ardent supporter of magic. She does not look favorably on physical combat, waste of magic, or the destruction of magical creatures.

The following actions will only change your Piety while worshipping Mystera Annur. If you have not yet converted to Mystera, or have renounced your religion, you may perform these actions without triggering the listed effects.

===Gaining Piety===

Mystera Annur will increase your Piety for performing the following actions:

* '''Use any Glyph''': +1 Piety.
** The use of ''any'' Glyph, regardless of its type, Mana Cost or circumstance, will earn you one point of Piety from Mystera Annur.
** The BLUDTUPOWA Glyph does not trigger this effect when activated or deactivated.
** Glyphs whose activation fails (as long as you have sufficient mana to use them) will still trigger this effect, despite the "failure" not costing you any mana! Most prominently, casting IMAWAL on a Boss monster is illegal, and so will fail in this manner. As a result, it can be cast infinitely on a Boss for no Mana Cost, no effect, and a piety gain of +1 per use. See more on this below in the Strategy section.

===Losing Piety===

Mystera Annur will decrease your Piety for performing the following actions:

* '''Convert a Glyph''': -10 Piety.
** Converting any Glyph while Mystera Annur is worshipped will cause an instant decrease of 10 Piety points.
** For this reason, any unwanted Glyphs should be converted BEFORE joining Mystera's religion. Glyphs converted before joining do not incur this penalty.
* '''Finish off a monster with a Physical Melee attack''': -1 Piety.
** If the last hit to kill a monster came from your hero's Physical attack, Mystera Annur will reduce your Piety by 1 point.
** This effect only triggers on the last hit that kills a monster, and will only trigger if your hero is using Physical attacks. BURNDAYRAZ is considered a Magical attack, and so it is possible to hurt the monster physically and then finish it off with a fireball without triggering this effect.
** Extra damage caused by Mana Shield counts as a Magical attack. Therefore, if your Melee attack dropped the enemy to a low enough level but the Mana Shield damage is what finishes the monster off, this effect is not triggered.
** If your Melee attacks are magical (through the effect of an item or [[Half-dragon]]), this effect is still triggered.
* '''Finish off a monster that uses Magical attacks with a Physical Melee attack''': -4 Piety.
** If the last hit to kill a monster came from your hero's Physical attack, and the monster possesses the ability of Magical attacks on its own (see [[Dragonspawn]], [[Warlock]] and others), Mystera Annur will reduce your piety by 4 points.
** This effect is ''cumulative'' with the -1 piety loss caused by killing monsters with Physical attacks (see above). Therefore, killing a Magical creature in this way will lose you a total of 5 points: 1 for killing the monster, and 4 for killing a Magical monster.
** This effect only triggers on the last hit that kills a monster, and will only trigger if your hero is using Physical attacks. BURNDAYRAZ is considered a Magical attack, and so it is possible to hurt the monster physically and then finish it off with a fireball without triggering this effect.
** Extra damage caused by Mana Shield counts as a Magical attack. Therefore, if your Melee attack dropped the enemy to a low enough level but the Mana Shield damage is what finishes the monster off, this effect is not triggered.
** If your Melee attacks are magical (through the effect of an item or [[Half-dragon]]), this effect is still triggered.

===Retribution===

If you commit a travesty against Mystera Annur that will cause your Piety to drop below 0, Mystera will curse you by lowering the effectiveness of all your Glyphs.

''Research info required: Does this only affect the damage inflicted by BURNDAYRAZ? What about Glyphs that give a constant, on/off effect like CYDSTEPP?''

==Boons==

Mystera Annur has 5 boons to offer to her worshipers at the cost of Piety.

===Magic===
* Increase your Maximum Mana by 15 points.
* '''Costs 20 Piety.'''
** On acquiring this boon, Mystera Annur will increase your Maximum Mana by 15 points.
** The extra 15 points are not filled immediately. You will need to find a way to replenish those points yourself (such as exploration or a Mana Potion).
===Faith===
* Using Glyphs will earn you +2 piety instead of +1.
* '''Costs 20 Piety.'''
** After this boon has been acquired, and as long as you keep worshiping Mystera Annur, each use of a Glyph as explained above in the section "Gaining Piety" will earn you +2 Piety points instead of +1 as normal. There are no other effects to this boon.
===Flames===
* The damage inflicted by BURNDAYRAZ is increased by 25%.
* '''Costs 50 Piety.'''
** Once this boon has been acquired, each casting of BURNDAYRAZ will inflict 25% more damage on the targeted monster than before.
** This effect is cumulative: if you have already acquired an increase to the power of BURNDAYRAZ (through Items or any other means), the effects will add up. For instance, if your fireballs already cause 50% more damage than normal before acquiring this boon, they will cause 75% more than normal with this boon.
** The Mana Cost of using BURNDAYRAZ does not change as a result of this effect.
===Weakening===
* All monsters lose their entire Magical Resistance, if they had any.
* '''Costs 100 Piety.'''
** On acquiring this boon, all monsters in the dungeon that have any Magical Resistance will lose their Magical Resistance entirely.
** This means that spells and Magical attacks (including BURNDAYRAZ, Mana Shield, and Magical Melee attacks) will cause normal damage to these monsters instead of the previously reduced amount.

==Strategy==
Mystera's cost for worshipping makes her unsuited for all but the most magic-focused of classes. For most players, this means [[wizard]]s and [[bloodmage]]s. Additionally, the slow rate of piety gain with her means that any glyphs you want to convert under her should be done before joining. On the upside, you can get plenty of piety upon worship, enough to get whatever boons you may decide you need. Weakening, while powerful for pure casters, is very situational (usually only of use against the Iron Man) and the high cost usually means that casters should find alternative methods of handling that particular situation aside from worshipping Mystera. Magic and Flames are both key boons, allowing you to deal a lot more damage with just BURNDAYRAZ alone. If there's still plenty more casting to be done in the dungeon, consider using your starting piety on the Faith boon and working your way up to Magic and Flames.

Two oddities of note to help players circumvent Mystera's penalty for joining. First, it is possible, although very expensive, for followers of Tikki-Tooki to convert to Mystera. If you're playing a pure caster (or even a hybrid), you should have no trouble gaining piety under Tikki-Tooki. In fact, [[rogue]]s can gain piety quickly under Tikki-Tooki, but have little benefit from his boons, so they're well-suited to this option. Second, Mystera's penalty has no effect on the [[assassin]]'s Swift Hand ability, meaning they can still instantly kill lower-leveled enemies with their physical attack, although this comes with piety loss.

===Game Bugs===

*Bug - While worshiping Binlor, destroying a wall gives the message "Binlor thinks your demolition efforts are very clever. (+1 piety)", but 2 piety is awarded.
*Bug - Repeatedly activating and deactivating BLUDTUPOWA when worshipping Taurog will eventually cause a Division by 0 error.
*Bug - Fire damage estimations don't calculate resistance (the actual damage is correct, though).
*Bug - After drinking several mana potions in a row, the game ignores any further clicks on the mana potion button.
*Bug - Sometimes walking over an increased damage rune gives you 0 increased damage.
**Just to clarify for whoever wrote this: Damage power-ups do not give an absolute increase in damage, they give a +10% bonus. If your base damage is too low (eg 5) then you won't see an increase even though the damage bonus was applied. If you are referring to something else, then ignore this. --[[User:Myclam|Myclam]] 15:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC) (v0.15)
*Bug - Destroying glyphs as human sometimes gives 0 damage boost.
**Clarification: Same as above, destroyed glyphs give a percent bonus. --[[User:Myclam|Myclam]] 15:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC) (v0.15)
*Bug - When hard up against the left side of the map, the numpad 9 key often does not work at all. All other directions work fine.

===Other Game Issues (Balance, Interface, etc.)===
*I have found a massive game imbalance involving Transmuters. What you do is run around untill you find Binlor Ironshield, if he isnt in that dungeon restart and try again. Since you gain gain 2 piety (pieties?) every time you use Endiswal, you can get to 100 very quickly. Get Hardiness, and Heroics, This will automatically boost you to level 10 and it only costs a total of 110 piety (80 for heroics, 30 for hardiness) which = 55 walls, get maybe 10 more if you are planning on using magic (-1 piety per use). make sure you have at least 3 mana potions per boss, gnomes are recomended. Keep going back and forth between the boss and walls to recover health, since you aren't discovering anything new the boss won't heal himself. Congrats, you just beat a dungeon with out killing anything.
** It's not the Transmuter, it's Binlor Ironshield. A few dieties (such as Binlor) have overpowered boons, but are almost impossible to raise piety for. The Transmuter and Half-Dragon are the only 2 classes in the game who can realistically get 100 piety with Binlor Ironshield. Mystera Annur is the same way. The base damage penalty forces you to take Boon: Magic before anything else, so if you wanted to take Boon: Weakening, it requires a minimum of around 70-90 casts, or 420-540 mana points if only BURNDAYRAZ is used (which is likely).
*I've played the new version extensively. I've unlocked everything and I have to say it's considerably worse than the last version. This version is all about luck and that doesn't make it much fun. There are far too many games that are unwinnable, and I'm not talking about the start (although that's a huge problem also). Too many classes depend on the right deity appearing. On that subject way too many of the deities are gimmicky and useless 90% of the time. Earthmother (can't kill natural creatures, who cares she's rubbish anyway), Tiki (must kill in one shot), tarog and bindor (no magic), etc. They all have something. This would be fine, if there were viable options for classes. A wizard with tarog or bindor is screwed--this is just one example. Retiring ad nauseum isn't much fun. Shops are useless--it's always the same crap, the good stuff never comes up--and because of the above deity problems, this can make or break a run.
** I've got to concur with this assessment. Basically too many gods are useless, Dracul, Tiki etc. because they can't be used as part of a strategy, where you'll plan to get this glyph and do that and then boom you have some advantage, and the penalties they give are far greater than the benefits. I've successfully used the plantation boon at level 2, being sure not to lock myself in, but still not gotten enough of an advantage out of it to win the game. The new Pactmaker, on the other hand, is my bread and butter. [[User:Yidda|Yidda]] 18:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC) -yidda
** It used to be that I'd use Jehora, Taurog, Misteria, or Binlor etc. all the time. Now I only use the Pactmaker. -yidda [[User:Yidda|Yidda]] 18:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
** OK, after a little more play on the new version, I have successfully used Jehora, the Pactmaker, Taurog once or twice, and Dracul twice, once with the Vampire, and once without. I've also beaten the game as an atheist, but I think the other 5 Gods could use some spicing up. [[User:Yidda|Yidda]] 03:06, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
** Earthmother's interesting...but I have yet to find a viable use for her. The other deities definitely have their uses, though I'm still quite hesitant to pray to Jehora. [[User:Raynes|Raynes]] 20:54, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
*The tutorial I think should be more flexible as far as taking into account mistakes of first time players. The tutorial kind of assumes the player will understand the instructions exactly and will therefore have the resources to complete the current map; however, this is not necessarily the case. For example, in the segment of the tutorial where ENDISWAL is introduced, the player is instructed to destroy the wall to their right. The tutorial is thinking at the tile level and means the wall tile to the right of the tile the player is currently occupying. On my first attempt, I was thinking at the character level and interpreted that same tile as the tile in front of the character (i.e. the player sprite is "looking" at it) while the tile below the currently occupied tile was "to the character's right". I destroyed the wrong wall and consequently did not have enough mana to complete the map. At this point I expected to be able to restart the current map, but instead I had to retire and replay the entire tutorial. It seems like the tutorial should have some kind of "restart current map" function for goof ups like these. Pretty steep consequences for a tutorial.

=== Wine issues ===
* DD runs awesome under wine with one exception - the mouse. The cursor is laggy and makes the game frustrating to play. Can you provide an option to turn of the software mouse cursor? Having the OS cursor/hw cursor woul make the game work flawlessly under wine. I can test this if you'd like --[[User:Lajcik|Lajcik]] 22:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
* I don't know about linux, but there's an app for OSX called Wineskin (http://wineskin.doh123.com/) that can be used to make self-contained Mac application bundle that runs a windows app, I use it to run DD. It would be a nice touch to provide a 'osx version' based on that for folks not in the know :) --[[User:Lajcik|Lajcik]] 22:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

*Bug - A couple of times, while worshipping Mystera Annur, I got a "Your spells will be less effective"(Or something similar) by converting runes. This apparently had no effect on fireball at least - even the 25% damage boon bonus continued to work. Maybe it increased monsters' magical resistance and I didn't notice since I was a noob.
*Bug - While worshiping Binlor, destroying a wall gives the message "Binlor thinks your demolition efforts are very clever. (+1 piety)", but 2 piety is awarded.
