-The '''dispersal''' [[brand]] is only found on [[boomerang]]s. It causes ammunition to force enemies that it damages to [[blink]] semi-randomly, usually away from the shooter. It does not check [[willpower]], however it must deal damage, and it fails against [[stationary]] monsters (e.g. [[statue]]s, [[oklob plant]]s).

-Boomerangs of dispersal are single-use, and will always [[mulch]] after being thrown. On the plus side, mulched items deal +33% damage, meaning that dispersal boomerangs always get this damage bonus.
