*Their Chant Word of Entropy spell requires 3 turns to cast, and renders the weaver immobile until the spell is complete, allowing you several turns to disable them before the spell lands. [[Silence]] and [[confusion]] can accomplish this, as can killing them before they manage to finish, but it may be wiser to [[blink]] away first. If there's a rock you can hide behind to break [[line of sight]], this works just as well.

*The best way to counter the immediate and possibly devastating effect of [[Entropic Weave]] is to fight entropic weavers separately from other monsters. Stairs are your friends here.
*If they do land their spell, don't expect to be effective in melee for quite some time. They and their allies will be tremendously dangerous at this point, so a [[teleport]] to safety may be the best course of action.

Useful Info

Entropy weavers are potentially devastating arachnoid casters which, if allowed to use their powerful magic, can inflict massive amounts of corrosion, rendering a character extremely weak and vulnerable. They can be found in the Spider's Nest, the Vaults, and the Depths, usually accompanied by several lesser arachnids.
