''This article is about the damage type. For the artefact crossbow by this name, see [[Damnation (unrand)]]. For the [[demonspawn mutation]] see [[Hurl Damnation (mutation)]].''

'''Damnation''' is an extremely dangerous damage type that is virtually irresistible. It is always dealt in 3×3-tile blasts that never miss and is one of the main threats in [[Pandemonium]] and the [[Hell]] branches.

==Monster spells==
===Hurl Damnation===
{{monster spell info|Hurl Damnation}}

This spell has a range of 7, requires a line of sight to the target, and creates an unavoidable 3×3 burst. Damage in each tile is 3d20 damnation.

===Call Down Damnation===
{{monster spell info|Call Down Damnation}}

This version uses [[smite-targeting]] to direct a 3×3 burst of damnation against targets in LOS. Damage is 3d15.

==Damnation Sources for the Player==
There are few methods available for players to gain access to Hurl Damnation. They are all found in the late game, and usually require a heavy cost to use. (Call Down Damnation cannot be used by players by any means.)
*[[File:Orb of Dispater.png]] Evoking the [[Orb of Dispater]] will reliably cast Hurl Damnation (<code>[[Spell power|Power]] = [[Evocations]] * 8</code>, max damage 3d42), but at a cost of 10% of your max HP and 4 MP.
*[[File:Urand damnation.png]] Bolts fired with [[Damnation (unrand)|the arbalest "Damnation"]] cause damnation damage.
*The [[Hurl_Damnation_(mutation)|Hurl Damnation]] [[Demonspawn mutation]] allows you to cast Hurl Damnation at rank 3 (damage based on [[XL]], max 3d42 at level 27) but at a cost of 15% of your max HP per use.

All player-launched sources of damnation require a line of sight and create an unavoidable 3×3 burst.

==Damnation Resistance==
Some monsters (typically [[demon]]s) possess [[:Category:Damnation resistance|damnation resistance]], rendering them immune to damage from damnation. Players cannot acquire damnation immunity.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.18]], damnation was known as hellfire and counted as [[fire]] damage in addition to being irresistible. The Hellfire Burst spell was renamed to Call Down Damnation, and Hellfire is now Hurl Damnation.
