In Dungeon! a wizard must choose to use a spell, let's say lightning, before the monster of a room is revealed. What happens if the monster is revealed and it appears to be immune to lightning, as shown by the "-" sign?

It is treated the same as if they rolled a number that was too low. They are defeated and suffer the usual consequences.

There are various different versions of the rules. The ones here show it on page 10, third paragraph.

Are you sure, do you have any reference to the rules for this? It seems strange because using a spell means that the monster cannot retaliate, so if the spell fizzles because of the immunity then in fact nothing would really happen. I wonder if the wizard would loose the spell card then? –  Bazzz Dec 26 '13 at 10:01
You are correct that a wizard takes no damage when failing with a spell, but still loses the spell. There are - monsters for things other than spells though too. –  bwarner Dec 26 '13 at 10:24
Your link seems dead. Mind updating it? –  Bazzz Dec 26 '13 at 11:26
Its a PDF, so it probably won't work on phones and such. Sorry, I don't know of a better location to link to the rules. I got it from –  bwarner Dec 26 '13 at 13:07
Is "New Dungeon" the same thing as "Dungeon!"? –  user1873 Dec 26 '13 at 16:01
