# User:Chris/dNetHack/Cerulean Sign
The Cerulean Sign is a special hallucinatory ward that is functional.  On the ground, it appears as a "cerulean weeping-willow". It is the Dungeons and Dragons equivalent of the Elder Sign, introduced in Lords of Madness. In dnethack, it acts as a 1-fold elder sign.

Strokes to draw
The Cerulean Sign can't be normally drawn.

It may be drawn with very low probability while hallucinating. In this case, the strokes to draw is the same as whatever you were TRYING to draw.
It may also be drawn by polymorphing an existing engraving or found on a ring, both with low probability.
If you know all other normal wards, reading a confused scroll of warding (which normally engraves a random ward you do not know) will draw the cerulean sign.
Warded monsters
b, j, m, p, w, l, P, U, ;, trapper, lurker above, nightgaunt, byakhee, mind flayer, deep one, deeper one.
Maximum reinforcement
1-fold (can't be reinforced)

How to learn
The Cerulean Sign can't be learned.
It may be found with low probability on randomly generated rings.
Although the ward can't be learned, the ring can be applied to scare monsters as normal.
