Destabilizes the space in a sphere around the caster for a while, causing anyone nearby to blink away from the caster. The chance of blinking depends on the distance from the caster, being nearly certain when directly adjacent. It causes magical contamination when cast.

Disjunction is a level 8 Translocation spell which blinks away nearby monsters for a short time.

Useful Info

When cast, an aura of disjunction with radius of 4 appears. The duration of the aura is randomized and depends on spell power (min. 6 turns).

The chance of a monster blinking away depends on how close it is to the center. Willpower isn't effective against Disjunction; if the monster is able to blink, it can be blinked away.

Strategy

While Disjunction is active, it's almost impossible for monsters to stay in melee range for more than 1 turn.

As a level 8 utility spell, it's a big investment for most characters doing a 3-rune game. Species with amazing Translocations aptitude (Felids, Spriggans) can find it reasonable to cast, especially if you've trained the skill for a spell like Malign Gateway. In extended, there's infinite XP, so anyone can cast it eventually.
