Occurs when fighting enemies while Temporarily Blinded.

Notes

• The amount of experience gained, meat dropped, and items acquired, are comparable to the type of monster you are actually facing, depending on the location being adventured in.
• Casting CLEESH will result in this message:

  You cast CLEESH at your opponent. It turns into ... some kind of amphibian, you imagine..

• The initiative message is always gender-neutral: "You get the jump on it" or "It gets the jump on you."
• Casting Magic Missile will result in this message:

  You attack the darkness. An elf with blue... no, gray eyes falls out of the darkness, clutching a can of Mountain Stream. You wish briefly for some cheesy puffed corn snacks.

  You acquire an item: Mountain Stream soda

• When fighting Ed the Undying, the fight continues as normal.
• When a Black Cat playfully bats away an item, the item name is not replaced with "...something."
• Clan dungeon chat messages will show the boss enemy name as "darkness" but drops are identified.

References

• "Attacking the Darkness" is a reference to the Dead Alewives' Dungeons and Dragons sketch. This is further cemented by the combat text when casting Magic Missile, as the sketch involves a wizard casting Magic Missile at the darkness, a character whose eye-color is in dispute, and someone demanding to know where the Mountain Dew and Cheetos (a cheesy puffed corn snack) are.
