+A '''wand of scattershot''' fires a volley of metal fragments in a range 5 cone. The damage for each projectile is 9d1 to 9d5 and the number of projectiles ranges from 4 to 14; damage and quantity of projectiles improve with [[evocations]] skill.
 ==Strategy==
-*Most of the fragments hit the targeted place.
+*Most of the fragments will hit the targeted space, but there is a certain amount of spread which increases as you train evocations. If you're trying to primarily target a single creature, fire at them when they're closer (preferably melee range) to improve your odds of hitting them.
-*Ineffective to high [[AC]] targets, because damage reduction from AC is calculated for each projectile separately.
+*Because damage reduction from AC is calculated for each projectile separately, wands of scattershot work best against creatures with low [[AC]] and are generally ineffective against high-AC targets. Good targets include [[list of ogres|ogres]], [[list of jellies|jellies]], or [[hydra]]s. If you're fighting anything wearing armour, you may wish to use a different wand.
