Blindness is a status effect in Remixed Dungeon that impairs the affected character's vision, reducing their ability to navigate and fight effectively.

Completely blinded, only the sounds around can be heard. The affected character experiences significant penalties to vision, accuracy, and defense.

• Reduced Vision: Affected characters have limited sight range (character needs to be adjacent to hear sounds)
• Accuracy Penalty: Reduced accuracy when attacking
• Defense Penalty: Reduced defense against attacks
• Navigation: Difficulty navigating terrain effectively
• Detection: Character can only detect adjacent enemies
• Duration: The effect lasts until it wears off or is cured

Blindness can be inflicted by:

• Enslaved Soul attacks
• Bandit attacks - inflicts blindness for 5-12 turns
• Shoot in Eye Spell - inflicts blindness for a duration based on caster's skill level
• Scroll of Psionic Blast
• Wand of Lightning (in some cases)
• Scroll of Curse
• Special abilities of certain mobs
• Environmental effects or cursed items

• Blindness Resistance may reduce the effect
• Potions and items that cure status effects may remove blindness
• Some creatures may be immune to blindness effects (e.g., IceGuardian, RunicSkull, Lich, EnslavedSoul)
• Mind Vision can partially counteract blindness
