 Dispersal is useful in crowded situations, where some monsters will be teleported away completely, and the others will at least be sent back some distance. It's especially great against [[guardian serpent]]s and [[draconian shifter]]s, as [[Blink Allies Encircling]] can quickly surround you with enemies.
-Compared to [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]], Dispersal is 2 levels higher and isn't also a [[Conjurations]] spell. IMB deals damage, but Dispersal will never fail to at blink monsters away, while IMB can fail based on size. Also, Dispersal has the ability to teleport monsters away. Overall, the 2 level difference is a key drawback, as the Translocations investment is substantial for many character builds.
