Warp Weapon is a Level 5 Charms/Translocations spell that temporarily gives the player's wielded melee weapon the distortion brand. Unarmed attacks and ranged weapons are unaffected. The weapon can harmlessly be unwielded, removing the temporary brand.
Felids are unable to wield a weapon, so are unable to use this spell.
Strategy
Distortion is quite a powerful brand on fast weapons like Short Blades or demon whips, 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 investment.
You will occasionally cause your foes to blink around or teleport away, but the high damage output and chance of banishment make these weapons very deadly regardless. Try using it against annoyingly well-defended foes, such as hell sentinels and orbs of fire. If possible, do so in small, cramped areas, so they can't blink too far away.
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).
