-Distortion is quite a powerful brand on fast weapons like [[Short Blades]] or [[demon whip]]s, as its bonus damage and ''10%'' banishment chance ignores how much damage you actually did. This comes without having to worship [[Lugonu]] or putting up with terrible miscast effects, but with a somewhat large XP cost.

 This brand sees very marginal utility for Lugonu worshippers; it replaces your current brand, meaning you can swap brands very quickly (for the cost of 5 MP).

-'''Warp Weapon''' is a Level 5 [[Charms]]/[[Translocations]] spell that temporarily gives the player's wielded, non-artefact melee weapon the [[distortion]] [[brand]]. This brand is immediately lost if the weapon is unwielded for any reason. Unlike actual distortion weapons, weapons affected by this spell do ''not'' inflict severe translocation miscast effects when you stop wielding them (ie, no danger of [[banishment]]). Using it on a branded weapon will temporarily replace the weapon's existing brand.

 ==Strategy==
-The value of having a distortion-branded weapon on demand without having to either worship [[Lugonu]] or put up with terrible miscast effects is often worth the experience investment necessary to get this spell castable, especially for characters who lack a good method of dealing heavy-straightforward damage. Each attack you make with a distortion weapon has a roughly 10% chance of banishing your opponent, effectively "killing" it outright. This makes it very effective when cast upon fast, accurate weapons, such as [[demon whip]]s, [[spear]]s, [[falchion]]s, or [[quick blade]]s. You will occasionally cause your foes to blink around or teleport away, but the massive damage output and chance of banishment make these weapons very deadly regardless. Try using it against annoyingly well-defended foes, such as [[hell sentinel]]s and [[orbs of fire]], but if possible, due so in small, cramped areas so they can't blink too far away.
