| A scroll that surrounds its user with a flight of beautiful butterflies, blowing back other creatures nearby with the flapping of their wings. |
Reading a scroll of butterflies creates a mass of friendly butterflies. It also knocks back enemies nearby.
This scroll is mutually exclusive with the scroll of summoning; only one of the two scrolls may spawn in any given game.
Tips and Tricks
- Butterflies are great at blocking attacks; though they are evasive, for better or worse (monsters with ranged weapons may miss your butterflies entirely and hit you anyways, for example).
- Butterflies may also distract enemies, and swapping places with one will allow you to disengage without fear of attacks of opportunity.
- Like all summons, they can be affected by a scroll of immolation, but their sporadic movement means that you always run the risk of taking a few fiery explosions to the face.
History
- Prior to 0.30, scrolls of butterflies alternated with the scroll of fog rather than the scroll of summoning. Also, the scroll created much less butterflies and did not knock back enemies.
- Scrolls of butterflies were introduced in 0.29. They replicate the effects of the removed spell Summon Butterflies, though the scroll spawns more butterflies.
