| Name | Piece from Xom's chessboard |
| Icon |

| A shimmering multi-coloured chesspiece belonging to Xom, god of chaos. When moved a glimmer of chaos from some cosmic game is imposed upon the battlefield. This glimmer afflicts a random foe with one of the following: haste, invisibility, might, corona, slow, paralyse, confuse, malmutate, petrify, or sleep. |
Evoking a piece from Xom's chessboard, in the spirit of Xom, allows you to cause a random effect[1] on a random monster within LOS. Even though it favors negative effects, you should always stay careful by being far away and having an escape plan. Your Evocations skill will increase the duration of the effect - positive or negative.
| Effect | Probability |
|---|---|
| Haste | 5% |
| Invisibility | 5% |
| Might | 5% |
| Corona | 10% |
| Slow | 15% |
| Malmutate | 15% |
| Petrify | 15% |
| Paralyze | 10% |
| Confuse | 10% |
| Sleep | 10% |
The chesspiece has 15 charges, and will recharge only when you gain experience. Carrying multiples is no more useful than carrying one, since charges are shared between all pieces.
Cheibriados dislikes this item, as it may cause haste. You'll only lose piety if you get haste; 95% of the time, you won't, but you can't control where or when (other than not using it).
