{{monster spell info}}

'''Corona''' (also known as "'''glowing'''" or "'''backlit'''") is a [[status effect]] and monster-only spell which causes the target to glow with an aura of light.

==Effect==
The Corona status prevents you from going [[invisible]], greatly reduces your [[stealth]], and makes you easier to hit (attackers gain a [[to-hit]] bonus of <code>1d8 + 1</code>). Monsters inflicted by Corona are affected in a similar fashion, though monsters don't have any stealth to reduce.

==Sources==
Other than the Corona spell, the following sources can inflict the Corona status:
*[[Ru]]'s Aura of Power may inflict the Corona status on monsters.
*[[Zin]]'s Recite may inflict Corona on monsters.

The following don't inflict the Corona status directly, but causes the same effect:
*[[Magic contamination]] above 5000 (yellow or higher) causes glowing, among other unpleasant effects.
*Setting a target ablaze with [[Sticky Flame]] also causes them to glow.
*A [[halo]] will backlight all creatures within it.

When you emit a halo, the accuracy bonus does ''not'' apply against you - you aren't any easier to hit. It will, however, reduce your stealth.

==Monster Spell==
The Corona spell must have line of fire to the target to cast, and it must overcome the target's [[willpower]] to inflict the status.
