+Fires an aimed beam of water, with range 5. In addition to dealing damage, the phial has the following effects:
 * Creates [[shallow water]] around where the beam hits. It will never cover [[stair]]s.
 * Potentially knocks monsters back.
-* ''Waterlogs'' monsters; this status will [[silence]] the monsters for its duration, preventing them from casting spoken spells. The phial will waterlog monsters, hostile and friendly, which were standing on a created water tile (before being knocked back). The center target will also be waterlogged, even if no water was created there. Note that [[unbreathing]] creatures are immune to this effect.

-A fairly decent evocable item. It can shut down dangerous spellcasters, like [[list of deep elves|deep elves]]. In addition, the shallow water gets in the way of enemies, and the beam does a fair bit of damage.
