Intelligent monsters will deliberately flash a camera at you to blind you if they come across one.

Add YAFMs:

• Combat messages produced when you attack a hallucinogen-distorted fog cloud are replaced by “You attack thick air.”
• When you try to engrave when engulfed by a dust vortex: “You try to write in the dust, but it won’t stand still!”
• When you get out of an air elemental (that you didn’t kill) while hallucinating: “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
• When you attempt to move into a Mordor orc with the m prefix: “You fail to simply walk into the Mordor orc.”
• When a sasquatch is blinded by a camera flash: “Unfortunately, that picture’s probably going to come out blurry.”

Archeologists and Tourists get experience for photographing monsters they haven’t yet photographed.

The spell of light has an advanced form, which is a ray. It blinds monsters it is fired at like a camera flash does. (The camera flash is also transformed into a ray, which can be reflected.) In Wands Balance Patch-implementing variants, the wand of light should also have this effect for skilled users.

Undead caught in a flash of light (from cameras or just from casting an area light spell) get awakened if they were asleep or confused (with a chance that decreases at higher levels) if already awake. Possibly, just illuminating their space by carrying some light source near them should be enough to wake them up.

You can apply an empty expensive camera at a yellow light to recharge it.

Destroying a charged camera may spawn one or more yellow lights (or black lights if it is cursed).
