Rampaging +∞ (Moving directly towards an enemy places you directly adjacent to them and makes a melee attack.)
Cannot stab if you are rampaging
Desirability
The seven-league boots[1] are a high-risk item. They let you instantly rush up to and strike an enemy from any distance, assuming they are in line with one of the 8 primary directions. On the one hand, you can attack a pesky centaur or deep elf annihilator without having to weather ranged attacks during a prolonged charge. On the other hand, you can accidentally rampage into a cluster of enemies and immediately get surrounded, or zip straight past a staircase you were aiming for.
Much like regular boots of rampaging, learning to zig-zag (travel diagonally in alternating directions) instead of walking straight towards your target will let you approach at normal speed. Unlike normal rampaging, you cannot make stab attacks when lunging with the seven-league boots.
The spell Vhi's Electric Charge is a good complement to this item. This spell allows you to charge at enemies at an angle, making it easier to reposition after rampaging into a group.
