Other information

TD boost

When a banshee is subjected to a warding or bolt spell attack, there is a chance that it will be surrounded by a bright glow, with a color corresponding to each spell circle (e.g. red for Minor Elemental, green for Sorcerer). For a duration of approximately 30 seconds, the banshee receives a +75 boost to its target defense (TD) and defensive strength (DS) against magic. Example:

You gesture at a banshee.
The banshee's eyes grow wide as she watches your gestures! Suddenly she makes hurried movements as she recognizes that she is about to be attacked by magic!

The banshee raises her hand to protect herself and a bright green glow surrounds her!
  CS: +251 - TD: +290 + CvA: +25 + d100: +98 == +84
  Warded off!
A blood red haze eddies and swirls around a banshee before it dissipates.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

Wearing off:

The glow fades from a banshee.

Wail

A banshee's wail attack has a chance to bind her target. There is no visible roll.

Example of a successful wail:

A banshee focuses her glare on you and looses a ghastly, keening wail!
Your heart leaps into your throat at the sound of the terrible wail!
>prep 704
You don't seem to be able to move to do that.

Wearing off:

The feeling of utter terror recedes.

Treasure

Banshees carry a variety of treasure but must be searched immediately upon death before they dissolve away.
