{{flavour|Briefly reorients local gravity to be in a cardinal direction of the caster's choosing, causing all creatures in sight to tumble a short distance in that direction.

The caster is not immune to the gravitational effects of this spell, but will be cushioned so they take no collision damage. Other creatures are not so
fortunate, and the abrupt impact will batter anything which was not already standing beside its new 'floor'.

It takes a short time for gravity to stabilize enough to recast this spell, though more powerful mages are able to do so more frequently.}}

'''Gell's Gavotte''' is a level 6 [[Translocations]] spell that lets the caster temporarily reorient gravity in a cardinal direction of their choices, moving everything that isn't tied down 4 tiles in that direction, potentially falling into walls and each other. This includes the caster, so the spell can be used for repositioning in some situations. Enemies only take collision damage if they move at least one space from this effect.

The {{Yellow|-Gavotte}} cooldown lasts from <code>5 - power/50</code> to <code>9 - power/50</code> turns.

 Keeping yourself in place while shifting the enemies away can often be a strong play for making space. This can be done by placing yourself next to impassable tiles such as deep water (such as from [[Summon Forest]]), forgecraft allies which are themselves immobile, lava (such as from [[Hellfire Mortar]]), or standard walls. Alternatively, it can be used to move yourself away from enemies if they would be stopped by impassable tiles - this can be particularly useful during the orb run.

 The targeter of this spell highlights monsters that will be damaged by casting the spell in a particular direction according to your knowledge of terrain and other monsters. Terrain the player has not seen yet, the presence of [[invisible]] monsters and those outside your line of sight may result in the spell having unexpected effects when cast.

-Gell's is one of the best ways to manipulate position in the game, and on top of that, the damage output can be considerable. Like Blink, any character would find this spell useful.
