Summon Butterflies is a level 1 Summonings spell which is amazing for making escapes, despite the wimpy name. Casting it instantly surrounds you with a power-dependent number of butterflies that will block your enemies' movement and ranged attacks. At low power it only summons a few, but at high power it can surround you completely to a considerable radius.
The butterflies have no attack. They will fly off in random directions at high speed, making them good for detecting magic traps, but they will not trigger weapon traps or shafts.
A scroll of random uselessness occasionally casts this spell at full power when read.
Note that Okawaru and especially Elyvilon don't like it when your allies die. In both cases, it will cost some piety. A cloud of friendly butterflies being killed by a fireball can quickly ruin your good standing.
There is a cap on how many creatures created by this spell you can have at the same time. Summoning more than 8 creatures means that the older ones will time out in two or three turns.
Tips & tricks
- If you know spells like Conjure Flame of Freezing Cloud, you can use Summon Butterflies to keep you enemies on top of the clouds for as long as you want.
- For obvious reasons, this spell is also very useful for characters with smite-targeted spells, like Lee's Rapid Deconstruction.
