| An enchanted vessel brimming over with elemental water. Removing the stopper unleashes a torrent of water from the phial and sets free the water spirits that dwell within it.
Once released, the spirits within this device will dissipate, leaving it inert, though new ones may be attracted as its bearer battles through the dungeon and grows in power and wisdom. |
A phial of floods is an evocable item which releases a torrent of water with an effect similar to Primal Wave: an aimed beam of water will damage and potentially knock back your target, and the endpoint of the spell will be covered in a temporary pool of shallow water with up to 3 friendly water elementals in it. Your Evocations skill will increase the duration of this water, as well as the likelihood of getting more elementals.
Like the other 3 elemental evokers (fan of gales, lamp of fire, and stone of tremors), the phial of floods expends itself after one use an can be recharged only by gaining exp while it is in the player's possession.
Strategy
Phials of floods can be useful for preventing Sticky Flame from affecting you. Fire at the floor one space in front of you (select the tile with .) to immediately drop yourself in shallow water, rendering you immune to the fire damage over time portion of the spell.
