Yara's — What is a "dispellable effect"?

[yesno]

"yara's violent unravelling[1/1]: A Level 5 Hexes/Transmutations spell that dispels all enchantments (dispellable effects) on the target; if there were any, causes a radius-1 explosion that damages and malmutates everything within. Found in the Books of Hindrance and Enchantments."

How do I know for sure ahead of time whether or not something is a "dispellable effect"?

From spl-goditem.h

  Code:

/// List of monster enchantments which can be dispelled.
const enchant_type dispellable_enchantments[] =
{
    ENCH_SLOW,
    ENCH_HASTE,
    ENCH_SWIFT,
    ENCH_MIGHT,
    ENCH_AGILE,
    ENCH_FEAR,
    ENCH_CONFUSION,
    ENCH_CORONA,
    ENCH_SILVER_CORONA,
    ENCH_CHARM,
    ENCH_PARALYSIS,
    ENCH_PETRIFYING,
    ENCH_PETRIFIED,
    ENCH_REGENERATION,
    ENCH_TP,
    ENCH_INNER_FLAME,
    ENCH_OZOCUBUS_ARMOUR,
    ENCH_INJURY_BOND,
    ENCH_DIMENSION_ANCHOR,
    ENCH_CONTROL_WINDS,
    ENCH_TOXIC_RADIANCE,
    ENCH_AGILE,
    ENCH_BLACK_MARK,
    ENCH_SHROUD,
    ENCH_SAP_MAGIC,
    ENCH_REPEL_MISSILES,
    ENCH_DEFLECT_MISSILES,
    ENCH_RESISTANCE,
    ENCH_HEXED,
};


Edit: I don't know if the same list applies to the player.

Edit 2: I added this list to the learndb, under yara's_violent_unravelling[2/2]. If you figure out that I've screwed up, please update the entry.

Hmm corona and yara's could be a decent tactic for enemies? Is the damage on it decent? Oh, is the explosion fire or would it cause anything to catch fire if one is using Dith?

  Code:

magic resistance[5/5]: <minqmay> what "hostile enchantments" really means is "effects that can be resisted by "resistance to hostile enchantments""

I think similar logic applies in determining what is a "dispellable effect".

[yesno]

thanks!

This is a fireball that takes 2 turns to cast and can be resisted by MR. Not very exciting.

[ajon]

Yeah I tried it out. dazzling spray seemed better and cheaper.

It is however, very satisfying to use it on some mage that cast Invisibility (by targeting their position as soon as they cast it) or Haste. Deep elf archers come ready-primed for dispeling too.

[yesno]

oh, wow, i have never actually cast it... i assumed it targeted all creatures in LOS, but it is targeted? that hardly seems worth memorizing tbh...

[ajon]

It might be more useful if it was smite targeted or had a chance at everything I think.

How good is this spell in Elf? A lot of the annoying little dolts found there use charms (notably archers have repel missiles on by default).

[dowan]

Seems like it could be nice for those bastard spriggan air mages. Oh, you think you're so clever with your deflect missiles?!?
