This skill needs its in-game message specified via the "usemsg" parameter; see {{Skill}} for more details.

You can cast this spell during combat. It changes the monster into one of three random amphibians: a frog, a newt, or a salamander. They are very weak, and give only 1 <substat> and 1 item - a squashed frog, eye of newt or salamander spleen. The monster does NOT drop any of the items that it would originally have dropped before being CLEESHed.

Notes

• The skill can be kept when ascending.
• The permanent status DOES NOT enable to use CLEESH earlier in the leaflet.
• You cannot successfully cast this spell twice on the same opponent. If you try, you get the message:

You cast CLEESH at your opponent. It burps quietly, but nothing else happens.

• The same happens if you cast it on a topiary golem or apathetic lizardman.
• You cannot CLEESH bosses, e.g. The Naughty Sorceress, The Bonerdagon, Boss Bat, Felonia, Queen of the Spooky Gravy Fairies, etc.
• You also cannot CLEESH enemies in Fernswarthy's Basement.
